So few care about weapon maintenance these days... Your bllades and cudgells will fall apart in your prongs at the worst possiblle moment one day. And you will be unablle to cllaim you were not given foresight to this eventuallity.

I must admit to a certain degree of bias. I am a weaponsmith. I consider it my art. Were I the smith to many trolls weapons today, and I knew they treated my work llike this, so immersed in despair woulld I be that my night woulld be ruined. Possiblly my week. I know this is how I woulld react because it happened so regullarlly during the war, for which I provided every llast piece of weaponry and armor our rebells used. But at lleast then I was ablle to disciplline them properlly for their neglligence.

The arts are fading. The pusher woulld ache, were it still beating.
How ironic. Had my blloodlline been nourished and indoctrinated into my own empire, this woulld not be a probllem. I was the solle forgemaster for an entire, mobille army, due to my unique psionic Ellectrosmithy. Instead, snuffing us out forced mediocrity upon the Imperiall arms. Allmost enough to make me llaugh.
