The Master couldn't believe that beings millennia old could also be so stupid that they would face Baba Yaga with outdated artifacts. Unfortunately, Adamant was rare and to equip a single creature the size of any of the Guardians' bloodlines required tons of enchanted metal.
After Xenagrosh purified Adamant to its utmost limit with Origin Flames, its quality increased tenfold, yet its mass decreased by the same amount. The Master couldn't afford to go into battle with the Guardians without giving the Abominations the best money could offer.
Davross was so rare that even Eldritch Abominations older than the Guardians had just accumulated a few ingots. Enough for a man, but barely enough to cover one of Xenagrosh's talons after she shapeshifted.
