into armor...
"If they took your armor away, lorek, where did you get this set from?"
"I made it myself in Nova Zembla from sky metal. Until I did that, I was incomplete."
"So bears can make their own souls..." she said. There was a great deal in the world to know. "Who is the king of Svalbard?" she went on. "Do bears have a king?"
