Everyday Silver Challenge Entry - Pirate Style

It's the same thing. I look into my wardrobe and say, "I don't have anything to wear." And that’s a challenge in this case. What to choose, decisions, decisions, decisions. Pick any color so long as it's silver? You see, for my guests I usually display my colorful little Booty bank placed in plain view with my Treasure map. The map is unfurled; the bank is unlocked and opened. Thus begins my presentation. As I open it an epic story unfolds as I place them on the map one by one and the Bloody Raven's story of Silver.

I invite my guests to pick up, handle, get the feel of real silver bullion. I often leave the whole Booty bank on the table and pick up a random piece to look at and handle for my Silver fix of the day. In short the whole bank’s contents are my Everyday Silver.

@stnwllstrtgc @armshippie and @dreemsteem So you fancy t’see me Everyday Silver Display? Well ‘ere it be.

And that doesn’t include what’s my China cabinet since I’ve run out of space in my Pirate Booty bank. So far as room is available either on my dining room table or coffee table, My Tactical Treasure map is rolled out and the tales of the Bloody Raven begin chronicling the origins and each piece of Cursed Silver.

There is no other substance in the universe that has such a contradictory duality than silver! While silver may have a multitude of useful physical and chemical properties, it also has the ability to be imbued with either a curse or a blessing. It is God's money, and at the same time The Devil's metal. ~ Brother Philip of the Celestial Monastery 1688 AD

Be warned, these be the deep water secrets of the Bloody Raven and yea may ‘ave t’swear that you will take them to thy grave. Yea don’t want me comin’ afta yea, as they say “Dead men tell no Tales.”

The Top Three favorite Everyday Display Pieces

The Nemesis Bar . 8.5 troy oz of 0.999 Fine silver bar, The most enigmatic and dangerous of cursed artifacts amonst the collection. A monster of a piece! At the cost of many lives and ships lost to keep this artifact from the hands of the Powers That Be. The power to give the holder the ability to reanimate the dead and to do as yea command for a fixed period of time. And if you don't know the tale then go to this post Nemesis Episode 5

The symbols of the skull and sword represent death by violence such that the energy released by the soul from the body activates a gateway for the bar to release its contained souls into those of the recent dead. The Coffin shape symbolizes the open grave as if the lid were removed to let the dead out.

The Waki legends claim that the souls of many generations of Waki Priests and Warriors dwell in this bar and that their spirit control is what controls the recent dead.

The Mimic of Faith, Yeager's Cross, In the right hands this can be used for good however this artifact comes with the curse of Corruption where the user will be tempted to use it with good intentions that are actually rationalized evil at it's very core. The curse of corruption is invoked when the cross itself becomes the object of faith rather upon the God it is supposed to represent. The Good Book has always warned us of “Wolves in sheep’s clothing” 5 troy oz 0.999 fine Silver.

Tis rumored to have been made using the fire fueled by the hide of a werewolf and the skin of a Lamb. https://yeagerspouredsilver.com/

Yeager’s 2 troy oz 0.999 fine silver Katana loaf bar. Thought I’d just toss it in.

The Raven’s Skull bar 1 troy oz 0.999 Fine Silver. Acquired in a confrontation between the Bloody Raven and the Queen of Pirates Ching Shih. The Raven was sent by Shih to recover the Raven’s Skull relics only to be tricked into killing a free man in order for Shih to solidify her power. Reputed to endow a ship with a form of invincibility but was proven false. But as Spirit sensitive as the Bloody Raven is, the Spirit of the late Captain Poa had been willed into the relic an unknown attribute that’s yet to be tested, The Spirit of Mutiny.

Thus the Journeys of the Bloody Raven continue....

“Thee gatherin’ of such powerful artifacts is not for the faint of heart but yea must ‘ave an adventurous soul, steadfast spirit, an’ laugh into the face of an ocean of dangers. Join us brothers and sisters for a glorious destiny awaits only the bold." ~ Unknown
