The Weapon Funeral:
When a great warrior died:
- Buried with weapons (serve in afterlife)
- OR Broken ritually (weapon “dies” with master)
- Prevents enemy from using it
The Practice:
- Bend sword 90°
- Break spearheads
- Burn shield
The Cursed Weapon:
Weapon that killed its master (dropped, betrayed owner) = cursed:
- Destroyed (smelted, buried in swamp)
- Purified (reforged, blessed extensively)
The Belief: Weapon holds grudge against owner who failed it.
The Lucky Weapon:
Weapon that saved owner’s life (deflected killing blow) = blessed:
- Named (if not already)
- Honored (never sold/discarded)
- Passed down (heirloom, carries luck)
