I've heard Daevas say a soldier without scars or dented armor has no real experience. That's all fair and well, but a Daeva who goes years without scars or dents is one that has never been struck.
Scars can show foolhardiness just as much as their lack can show inexperience. Don't judge an enemy too quickly from their appearance, or you may find some scars of your own.
Lucky for you, I dole out more than just outstanding advice. Care to see some of my wares?
Keep your wits about you.
