F'rinstance, you can have magic weapons forged by a legendary dwarf master smith; you can have the cloak of elvenkind woven for the rangers of the ancient elven kingdom; you can have the phylactery of faithfulness made for use by clerics of the custom god Blahblah inscribed with his symbol.A lot of the time there are obvious tie-ins between history and appearance, or clues to the functions of the items that justify a bard knowing a little about them ("See the symbol here in the pommel?  That was the mark of Durak the dwarf, a smith of great renown, known for his hatred of goblins.." for a goblin bane weapon).</blockquote>
