Another thing I should have mentioned: I don't think that swords would be
commonplace in Prax at all; far from it. That's why it's unusual that any
tribes have them at all. I'd think that only the khans and the best
warriors would have bronze swords as a rule (more would have them if they
were taken as booty, of course). There are probably quite a few
lesser-quality swords (bone, etc.).
