Crafting Motif 68: Honor Guard Style

by Kiasa-Veda, Chronicler of Blades, Dir-Tonenaka

A guide to crafting armor and weapons in the Honor Guard style

To make gear rightly,

One must follow the old rules;

Error, dishonor

AXES

Axe is made to cut;

The long edge slices open,

Then weight drives it through

BELTS

Warrior carries

Weight of weapons and honor;

A belt must know strength

BOOTS

Feet must feel the ground

Yet boot soles push it away;

Place your feet with care

BOWS

Archery reveals

Relation of heart and mind;

Aim with the whole self

CHESTS

Armor frees fighter

To think solely of attack;

It must be strong yet light

DAGGERS

Knife trades reach for speed;

Yet it must be forged as well

As a longer blade

GLOVES

Gauntlets defend hands,

Yet hands are the source of blows;

Find the right balance

HELMETS

A well-guarded head

May wear a fearsome aspect;

Fight with the mind, too

LEG GREAVES

Intelligent foes

Will strike at a fighter's legs;

Good greaves forestall them

MACES

A blow from a mace

Can settle any debate;

Wield strong arguments

SHIELDS

A shield is the face

That your foe sees from afar;

Wear a grim visage

SHOULDERS

Strong pauldron deflects

The unseen flanking attack;

Make it durable

STAVES

A spell is a tale,

A staff a storyteller;

"Once upon a time…"

SWORDS

Akaviri swords

Often have slightly curved blades;

But Honor Guards' are straight
