It appears the Sacred Guardians aren't active mummies or golums and we aren't going to get twenty pages of fighting and/or negotiating with them. Argadi (talk) 10:03, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

You just don't get Sacred Guardians like you used to. I blame the Millenials. /s Bosda Di'Chi 12:02, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Wooha! Let us now dance the dance of the Empire... no, the Chrysler Building! -- SpareParts (talk) 13:31, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Sacred Mysteries of the Tekvari? Very punny, Phil. [Read: Sacred mysteries of the very techie ancients.] DLcygnet (talk) 13:48, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

I keep looking at Zeetha's swords - trying to figure out how she actually wields them. I picture fingers around the bottom rung and a thumb around the top rung... but then the swords would always be perpendicular to her arm instead of extensions of it (or cutting into her wrist). I guess the sword in this shot shows a relief for the wrist. Any RL examples of weapons like this? DLcygnet (talk) 13:54, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

I am very far from an expert on the subject, but I guess the Pata sword of India is sort of the same idea. --Geoduck42 (talk) 14:17, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
They are hooded Katar/Punching Daggers. The Pata fully encases the hand and forearm while a Hooded Katar covers only the back of the hand/wrist. The two bar handles are also a distinct feature of the Katar and are both held in the palm by making an extended fist. -- Ucalibur (talk) 14:28, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
There's some discussion of how they're wielded in the novels, if I remember correctly. Zibbiz (talk) 14:41, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
The last panel shows Zeetha in action. Fred1740 (talk) 15:00, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
