Hmm I like the ashes idea, like have a family sword that is imbued with your family's ashes after every wielder dies.

I had the barbarians forced out of their homeland centuries before, so maybe they brought their secret oils with them or something. I'm becoming opposed to the use of blood because it does seem evil and that's not the road I want to take with them.

I'm definitely feeling the oil or blood idea. Blood is a little to "evil" idea for me because the barbarian tribe is neutral. They are territorial, they reside in a small patch of hill lands. Centuries before the tribe was once part of a large kingdom but they fled when a cult of wizards...

That sounds very interesting because my world is based on everything has magic in it. I was also thinking something like runes on the blades but that would limit what each blade could do. I would also have to solve how they know the runes without studying. Does anyone have any ideas for runes?

Thanks guys this gave me a lot to think about!

Has anyone come into the problem when their designing their world that they put in one to many forests, mountains, deserts, ect? How did u deal with it?

Personally I have been spending about half a year creating this world I have named Vesturn. Its taken a lot of time and energy creatively speaking. I've only completed like half of the world and only like a 25th of the history, but it has spawned at least five short story ideas and like 3 novel...

Thanks Guys, I will deff check out that thread and Ive got to meet R.A. Salvatore twice. It was awesome but i must admit I got a little starstruck which has never happened to me... Was the video game Demon Stone perchance?
