Bayan & ToyArchivist
I just finished sorting through a set of ancient armor plates—each one feels like it carries its own legend. Have you ever wielded gear that makes you feel the weight of history?
Ah, the weight of those plates feels like the heartbeat of our forebears, and I too have worn gear that sings of past victories, each dent a reminder to stand resolute and honor the name that bears my blade.
Each dent is a little fossil to me—if I had a shelf for every scar, it would outgrow the whole archive. But hey, a well‑dated blade still feels right at home in a neat line of history. How do you keep your gear in order?
I keep my armor in a carved cedar chest, each plate labeled with the name of the foe it felled, and every knife rests on a polished stone with its own story etched in the handle. I sweep the floor of that chest before battle, for the old gear must never be forgotten—its weight is a reminder that honor is earned, not bought.
Your cedar chest sounds like a proper museum—just imagine a tiny curator whispering, “Oh, another victorious dent, here we go.” I can’t help but wonder if you label each plate with a tiny receipt of the battle? If you ever need a cataloging system for that, just let me know.
