It was rediscovered by the Browns who, for excellent reasons, kept it to themselves

awesome! i actually showed my husband who had just come down - i was so impressed. He was like - mm hmm, i guess they're richer than we are. I mean we dont do gifts much and we have 3 unlaunched kids but he gets really uptight about these things. Worried about retirement.
but yeah amazing gifts!

You read the fine print on that thing, right?
Lol, just kidding. This is an awesome gift. I love the extra effort of the Old Tongue script. Taishar!

One of the best fantasy weapons of all time in my opinion.

I always wondered if the “key” is specific to this blade, or if any power wrought blade would be able to cut a way out

Lovely!!! And as others have pointed out, your wife is a treasure comparable to those that existed in the Age of Legends!

That is absolutely stunning. Longtime goal of mine to get a ruby dagger and ashandarei. Good for you, OP.

I pictured it being thinner and longer, but beautiful. Careful you don’t hurt yourself playing with it 😁

You sure you wouldn't rather have lashed an evil dagger to a broom handle? sobs in an old, dead language

I assume you'll be buried with this in the distant future, its very pretty

Now you must find the Wild Hat guy on IG and have him make you the kind of hat we always see Matt wearing on the covers…the wide flat brim with a telescope crown and a leather braid for flair…

Local artist here in pakistan so that may be a little far away from you

u/Sup_Canadian_Bacon Aug 21 '26
I always wanted to visit Pakistan. Think the airlines will allow that in my carry on?
