...beskar was a hallmark of the Mandalorian culture and a man was not truly a man until he had his own Beskar'gam. Until that time he was unproven. It was this creed that had brought Naimes ahn Dross to the town known as Bralsin which sat on the edge of the Kalita Valley, a valley filled with farmland, woods and a number of homesteads. Bralsin was also home to a particular Beskarsmith that Naimes had heard spoken of in high regard which drew him to the small town seeking the talents of the man so that he could have him forge his own set of Beskar'gam....
...the meeting had been brief and the Soldier had explained his desire to the Beskarsmith who pledged his own understanding and after payment was produced he had set to work. Beskar was not overly difficult to find here on Mandalore compared to other worlds in the galaxy and most Mandalorians had access to it to some extent. Naimes had insisted he be allowed to watch the Beskarsmith craft his armor which seemed an unusual request but the Soldier was eager to see the process and so eventually the Beskarsmith had relented...
...now they stood inside a small dome building, an opening at the epicenter of the roof to allow smoke to drain easily and heat to escape as the Beskarsmith heated the iron and prepared his tools for the process of forging the armor while Naimes stood in the background. He was silent as he watched only his eyes betraying his curiosity as the Beskarsmith placed all his tools as he would require them and continued to heat his forge. Even now as the fires of the forge simmered Naimes could feel the heat licking his features and he wondered just how hot this room would become but if the calloused flesh of the Beskarsmith was any indication it would be very hot, something a man would need to become accustomed to if he was to take up this trade...
...Naimes remained as the forge heated, silent and contemplative, he had very specific designs on what he wanted his Beskar'gam to be and how it would differ from the armor that he saw others wear. All Mandalorians added their own personal touches to their armor after all and this would be no different for Naimes once his Beskar'gam was complete; he would be a true warrior of the vode then and no one would deny him his place amongst them. He would no longer be an outsider to the culture...
