The Armour Of Geirlanth

The Armour Of Geirlanth

Reinlas is in Cykarts blacksmith shop Cykart is surprised to see him here as the shop is rather new and he hadn't though the person who is to be king would be here to have something made.

"Cykart I want some armour made if possible" Reinlas says

"Of coarse but might I ask how you know my name my king?" Cykart asked

"I know your name as you are said to be a good smith possibly the best we have that's also why I came to see you to have armour made also maybe learn the craft from you eventually and so not call me king until the coronation whenever that will be" Reinlas says

"Of coarse Reinlas. Over here are the metals we have from the mines before the accident so you can take your pick as to what metal it can be made from" Cykart says

Reinlas looks over and sees many different metals including Iron and steel among others but he notices one in the corner he's never seen before and he senses something weird about it.

"What is this metal here?" Reinlas asks picking up the strange metal

"Honestly I do not know when it was brought here no one had seen it before so I was  going to do some testing when I had time" Cykart says

"Then forget the armour for now this metal is interesting I wish to know more about it personally" Reinlas says while looking at the metal with intrigue

"Of coarse Reinlas, It'd be my pleasure" Cykart says

Reinlas and Cykart start doing their own tests on the strange metal trying to use normal blacksmithing ways to melt it into a piece of armour but they can't seem to actually melt it or even scratch it with a strike from a blade in fact the blade shattered when they hit the metal. Reinlas then thinks that using his magic might uncover something about it. So he levitates the piece and starts to scan it with his magic"

"This metal is simply astounding from what I can tell it channels magic and make its output stronger its also strongly resistant to all elements but using magic in a certain way can allow for the metal to actually be melted and forged into something" Reinlas says

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

"That is amazing and from how it seems we are the first to discover this metal!" Cykart says excitedly

"Indeed my friend how about we try and see if we can make armour from this?" Reinlas asks

The two agree to make the armour together, Reinlas using his magic makes the metal able to be forged while Cykart both while using his techniques to make the armour teaches Reinlas how to smith as he remembered Reinlas mentioning that before. Through many hours and some mishaps that leave small scars from the metal suddenly sharpening, they manage to forge a  chestplate from the strange metal they have called "Geirniam" Reinlas puts it on.

"It's so light yet from the test we know its powerful it's almost impossible to imagine its that strong" Reinlas says

"Does this armour suit what you'd hoped for Reinlas?" He asks jokingly

Reinlas laughs

"Yes it does Cykart but I shall leave it here until we do have more metal to complete the rest of it" Reinlas says

Cykart agrees to have it kept there for now. In the coming weeks Reinlas has asked for Geirniam to be sent to Cykart both for the armour and so that it goes to someone who has actually worked with the metal before so that no one hurts themselves trying to use it. Over time Reinlas does help in making the rest of the armour and leaving a place for a symbol that will be made after Reinlas is crowned king.

A few months later...

Reinlas is again at the smithy of Cykart forging the last piece of the armour, the helmet and the helmet is forged to be in resemblance of a wolf during the forging process Reinlas and Cykart talk about how unique the metal is and if they think it's only found there but neither knows for sure. After hours of forging and hearing the hard strikes of the hammer they finally finish it.

"Amazing, simply amazing work Cykart you will be known for this work my friend its fine details are exemplary with the look I wanted as well you are an amazing smith" Reinlas says proudly

"Ah it was a pleasure Reinlas and a long project but I am happy with the results myself and the brilliant chance to work with this fine metal so I must thank you for that" Cykart says

They are both happy with this work but now comes wearing the armour Reinlas puts on the armour and he even added a cape to the back of it that will one day sport the symbol of their kingdom. Reinlas is pleased with how it feels on him and he thinks about requesting a blade made of the metal but will wait another time and thinks of making it himself as a test but will ask Cykart for aid when that time comes and as Reinlas bids goodbye to Cykart he leaves wearing the armour he has named the armour of Gierlanth.
