 ==== Body: Guard's Uniform of Old ====
+{{ :relics:guard-body.png?200|}}
 > A neatly-ironed uniform of the Silvermane Guards from long ago. The sturdy buttons press creases in the fabric.
+An old-fashioned Silvermane Guard uniform passed down for generations in the Goethe family. This uniform has long been buried at the bottom of a chest, and only a soldier's honor might be worthy of its return to the world.
+As the soldiers of Destruction marched ever closer, the Silvermane Guards swore to defend the last barrier even when there was no possibility of retreat.
+During the Defense of Vevalo, Horace Goethe led his squad in the months-long defense of a key mountain pass. When the trumpets of arriving reinforcements finally sounded in the valley, that valiant company of heroes was long gone, and even their remains were nowhere to be found. At the commendation ceremony, Supreme Guardia Alisa pinned a medal of honor on Horace Goethe's young son. The boy stood upright in this old-fashioned uniform, representing those who had made the ultimate sacrifice.
+The young Goethe junior saw uniforms and medals on that day, but the Supreme Guardian saw so much more. She witnessed the greatest legacy left behind by heroes — the future of Belobog.
+"Horace Goethe was a true warrior. You should be proud to bear the Goethe name." This was the young Goethe's only memory of the Supreme Guardian.

 ==== Feet: Guard's Silver Greaves ====
+{{ :relics:guard-feet.png?200|}}
 > A pair of hard, silver-white metal greaves. They provide protection while also being lightweight and warm.
+The Silvermane Guard field battalions often found themselves forced to march for miles in deep snow due to tactical needs. Exhaustion induced by the long-range raids and awful frostbite on their feet were the bitter ordeals all soldiers had to endure.
+The long march across the Snow Plains, however, would occasionally bring back friends from the old days.
+Silvermane Guards tasked with patrolling the Snow Plains will often hear the howls of direwolves. These pitiful creatures were also driven from their homes by the invaders. Field Company Sergeant Jaeger, who came from a family of hunters, was skilled at making fur cloaks from direwolf manes. However, after the onset of the Eternal Freeze, he rarely saw these ferocious animals. Occasionally, on cold winter nights, a direwolf desperate for warmth would approach the guards' campfire and silently lie down right next to Jaeger, falling into warm, pleasant dreams. After dawn, however, the beast would never wake up again.
+Sergeant Jaeger would often stuff the processed wolf mane into the soldiers' silver greaves to alleviate the pain during their long march on foot.
+"The direwolves haven't completely lost their home, just like us," Sergeant Jaeger thus lamented the plight of the direwolves.
