In most of my ideas, no. I just aesthetically find swords and what not more interesting.
I understand that. As it was one of those reasons I'd really not wanted them in Eld.

In The World, flash powders are known of, and there have actually been a couple now semi-mythical bombardes that were said to have actually been used in battle. By in large, "firearms" as Americans tend to think of them do not exist. First, scarcity of iron means the stuff is far too valuable to be used making ordinary weapons. Second, a bronze or brass firearm can only be so big before it becomes too bulky to handle. A matchlock blunderbuss would probably be about as practical a gun as could be made. By the time you get a shot fired off, your enemy has already advanced, poked his lance into your brain and moved on. Guns simply aren't seen as the way forward.
