#bone armour

Fandom: Shadowhunters, Starring Alec/Magnus

It had been over a century since the last time the Traditional Shadowhunter Post War Ceremony had been performed. This ceremony had only been performed twice in all of shadowhunter history. First, when Johnathon Shadowhunter created the first institute, that would later become Idris. Second, when the first set of Accords was edited to include anyone of demon origins.

Alec, did not recall this. It was one of the first things he was taught in Shadowhunter History, a mere sentence in the introduction. He also did not recall the nature of the ceremonial wear: armour created out of the enemy’s corpse.

Armour created out of the bones of those with demon origins, currently known as downworlders.

Archeologists are intrigued by the discovery of the complete set of well-preserved bone armour which is seen as having belonged to an 'elite' warrior. The armour was in 'perfect condition' - and in its era was 'more precious than life', say experts.

It was buried separate from its owner and no other examples of such battle dress have been found around Omsk. Analysis is expected to determine its exact age but Siberian archeologists say it dates from 3,900 to 3,500 years ago.
