The Kralori what? I agree that the chinise do good swords, but I don't remember them specializing on scimitars. The bronze age swords vere straight and double edged.
The rather modern "kung fu" or "tai chi" swords include the Gim, which is a very nice narrowbladed straight sword, that is very fast like a fencing weapon, and a heavy scimitar-like sword that I don't remember the name of.
I wonder, are you confusing the Kralori with the Vormaini? Though I definitely don't want to see any "katana" in my Glorantha either, since it's a very, very modern sword. The old japaniese swords are straight and double bladed.
: ...and the Lunars took them as well. With our bows we can throw fiery
:arrows farther than anyone else.
I don't think a firearrow will fly as far, or as true, as a regular one, but the mongols did have excellent bows.
