Ahh. Lucky you. *thinks hard* I find myself wondering stupid details. Like... what the language sounds like. Is it harsh, guttural? Or perhaps is it flowing and elegant? Also... I'm thinking goblins use three kinds of ritual scars. One for tribe, one for family, one for achievements. The major group, the minor group, and the individual. Babies get the first one a little after they're born, within the first year. Then at.. let's say 5 years, they get the family scar. The achievement scar, though, you've got to do something awesome. Like... save others from a cave-in, find a huge deposit of some awesome mineral... or bring back something amazing from your journeys outside. My girl will be searching for that last one. Where do you think the scars would be located? Face sounds painful, like... something you'd do to a criminal. Maybe arms or torso? *rambling*
