If I might hazard replies...

1 - The tachi and katana, the weapons that sword is based on, do not curve enough to warrant the shape of the original High Elven sword, which curves to the point of it being more suited as a cavalry saber than a foot soldier's weapon.

2 - I will provide an image when I am able, but I am unable to do so at this time.

3 - As the islands of Japan (which this suggestion is based on) used iron in the forging of their weapons, tools, and even their arrowheads, I do not believe using flint would qualify as a substitute.

4 - They are clans, not tribes. If I might hazard a guess, you are under the impression that this suggestion's faction is based off the Polynesian tribal systems of Southeast Asia and the Pacific. I assure you, this faction isn't based less on they and more on the Japanese clan-system, which did have lords, known as Daimyo.

I hope my answers helped to satisfy some of your queries and thoughts.
