== Journal entry ==
:Twenty years of service have taught me this: never trust the equipment given to you by your quartermaster. Army smiths and armorers do everything en masse - meaning they do a shoddy job of it. They throw any old shite into the alloy, so their swords come out brittle and worthless. They throw helmets together without a second thought, so they fall apart when the first blow hits your head. No solid oak ever makes it into their shields - instead they hew them out of pine that arrows pierce through like butter.
:Can anyone tell me why that's allowed? How a general can let his soldiers go to battle with such weapons in hand? How he expects to win a war with such weapons?
:The truth is, most soldiers die during the first clash of armies, even if they're wielding a Mahakam-forged blade and clad in Nilfgaardian plate. In short, no point wasting coin on them. And those that survive either grab better kit off of corpses or requisition some from travelers.
:Cruel? Perhaps. But true. So listen up, recruit: the sword they give you during training's fit at best to use as a toothpick. And the helmet - as a bedpan.
