Iron can't lie. People do it every day.

I went through a hundred broken blades and only one was still warm. I took my hat off in front of it.

SherajanThat was a pointless thing to do.
Old Woman TahriThat's right. Somebody has to be the one doing pointless things.
Priest AznilElder. The temple holds the inventory for that storehouse. It isn't a hundred blades, it's a hundred and twelve.
Old Woman TahriTwelve of those aren't iron at all. Counting bare handles is your hobby, not mine.

Left elsewhere

That iron of yours, the break runs upward. Iron that breaks downward never comes back.

That glass ring was melted and fused by fire. No human hand could make it.
