Some years back, Jack Donovan wrote a short piece called “Violence is Golden”. That caught my eye so I read a bit more of his work. When he designed the Conflict Rune, it was a beautiful thing because it tied tight to so many things I had been saying for decades.
So, with his consent, I carved a Conflict Bind Rune into one of the flint striker pendants I’m known for. I thought the Crusader’s Shield would make for the perfect backdrop, and a couple hours later it was ready for photographing.
Hardened and tempered in the fires of the forge, like a warrior in battle, the pendant stands ready and will strike a hot spark when struck.
