Shackamaxon Free Armory
The Shackamaxon Free Armory is what happens when an anarchist is put in charge of something. Modeled after the armories of the Black Panther Party and other political militias, the Free Armory does not answer to any court. While it is housed in a hollow that leads directly to Sighall, Sigrun's personal hollow, Sigrun has made it clear that all are welcome to buy into the hollow if they wish it. She just needed a safe place to stash an armory away from the courts. Those who know the way inside are permitted to sign out equipment. They're responsible for returning it or reporting it missing. While nobody will be expected to repair or replace equipment lost to routine use, excessive destruction or loss of equipment may lose that individual access until they've materially contributed back to the Free Armory in some fashion. It is understood that armor is struck, shields split, and swords shatter. And also understood that each individual piece in the armory is was a resources 5 crafting project. Don't abuse a good thing.
Members in good standing of the Shackamaxon Freehold, regardless of court, may sign out one (1) suit of armor, one (1) shield, one (1) bow w/ up to 40 arrows, one (1) shield, one (1) spear, sword, or axe, and one (1) sidearm at any one time. Individuals able to raise the Hue and Cry within the Freehold are understood to be able to flagrantly disregard these guidelines for whomever they wish. They then sign the book alongside the responsible party, though.
Unless the freehold is under some state of heightened alert, Sigrun will be personally asking why weapons and equipment are remaining checked out of the armory beyond their stated use periods. This doesn't mean you can't use the arsenal to stage a coup, it just means you should probably plan to include Sigrun.
