I think it's more likely the evil one is their familiar

it's the question of chicken and egg.
it's wierd that the developers did not build any smithies in damascus -- damascene steel was pretty famous back then all over Europe and Middle East and highly praised.

That's a very good point. But since we only got inside the buildings of import to the plot we don't really know that they didn't. Plenty of those buildings I was running around on had chimneys large enough to be usable for a smithy

i don't think a closed in building is a good idea for a smithy: all that hot fire, you know... and flowing metal.

Didn't stop them doing it though

and why are there EAGLES in the city? I know the view pointer,yea but -- eagles dont fly where people live.

No, they hunt smallish rodents and stuff in tree and grass areas. but then, they're there as more of a subjective thing for Desmond I think

i wonder -- do other citizens know they're there. cause birds do have shadows.

If you'd actually wear the hidden blade outside for self defense (I'm assuming you aren't a psychopath), I'd advise don't.

Buy a Kubotan. They don't kill (easy) and they do a LOT of pain.

i am thinking to wear it on the inside -- HIDDEN is the key word.

EDIT: have you got a picture of a kubotan?

I prefer tonfa myself. In most countries they're considered legal as long as you don't wear them overtly concealed (oxymoron ftw)

Hidden don't mean a thing when you get searched. Concealed weapons, especially, are not a pleasant thing to be found with. Kubotans are legal to be concealed, as they're specifically for self defence.

So are tonfa. And they look cool

so how does the kubotan work exactly
what's the size of it?

They're about twelve inches long I believe. A bit like a police asp, but without the spring load. And they just really hurt when you whack people with them. Some kind of dense alloy type thing

you don't stick people?
damn..

'Fraid not. It's blunt. That's why it's legal

i'll keep looking

The art book I bought from Ebay arrived today. It has enough images in there for me to have a blacksmith make an almost perfect replica. I'd better get busy

i don't think we have blacksmiths over here...
