Hey Voin, I’ve been thinking about how we can design a minimal, high‑performance shield that still carries your tribe’s stories. What do you think?
We must keep the shield light so the warriors can run, but the elders say a thin plate of ironwood, hardened by fire, will hold. Carve the clan’s sigils on it—let the spirits breathe through each line. That’s how strength meets story.
Nice idea, but a thin ironwood plate will still be heavy. Try a carbon‑fiber core with a thin ironwood overlay for the sigils. It keeps the weight low, the strength high, and lets the stories shine without bogging down the warriors.
Using carbon‑fiber is a bold step, but if the weight is lighter and the ironwood overlay still feels the wind like our ancestors’ drums, then we can try it. Just remember to honor the spirits in every weave.
