White-Steel Greaves

The White-Steel Greaves are the Runic leg armor in Sam's four-piece equipment gift to Randidly Ghosthound. Their inherited story of an unnamed Great Hunter gives them both extreme movement bonuses and a possible connection to the images carried through Randidly's blessings.

History

Sam's blessing-forged equipment

Sam creates the greaves with materials and designs shaped by his connection to Randidly's blessing. When Randidly examines them, their detailed history concerns Monyt the Vizier, an unnamed Great Hunter, and the Assembly—figures Sam did not consciously invent. The embedded narrative makes Randidly question how the System transmits malleable images into new equipment. (Chapter 918)

Hound's Ladder and later use

Randidly equips the greaves before descending into the Hound's Ladder arena, using their mobility as part of the overwhelming lesson he intends for Donnyton's Squads. They remain among the pieces he considers his own equipment after returning to his body. (Chapters 923 and 1131)
