this armor was the inspiration for Matt's new armor. If this isn't coming across as clear I'll massage things so things feel less iron man. It can be hard to describe stuff like that. The gems were brought up in the discord so they will go but if anything else needs to change let me know.

Colonel Galanodel was the ‘head librarian’ of Team Firmament, a slender, bookish woman with blonde hair, pointed ears, and a golden claymore she seemingly had out all the time. It was not what Matt pictured when he thought of a smith, but if she was the leader of Firmament s...

Zack was wholly unsurprised that Allie challenged the new Ascenders to a fight. He probably would have done it himself, though he would have at least waited a little longer, and been a bit more polite about it. First impressions, and all that. But at least this way, he ...
