00:00There's so many characters in this world that when we bring a new one that is significant
00:05into it, you really want to meet them with a bang and know exactly who they are and exactly what
00:11they are about. Here we have got Lord Ormond Hightower. So I wanted to engrave the characters
00:18of the Seven into the armour. We have the warrior, mother, crone, father, smith, maiden and the
00:27history in Jer. In terms of actually physically creating these, it wasn't very different from
00:33the techniques that would have been used hundreds of years ago. We essentially chemically etch
00:38into metal, but we then have to take a mould from it and recreate it in lightweight materials
00:44so it's flexible and safe to wear as light as we can make it.
