Holy Sheaths have 9 possible worn slots: back, shoulder, pants, wrist, belt, arm, greaves, ankle, front. OTS sheaths come with one worn slot, and you can purchase unlock slips to add as many more as you want. Each slot has a fixed weight and capacity, so no need to lighten or deepen your Holy Sheath ever.
And there's still Tier 4 to discuss... which will be available for unlock to everyone at Rumor Woods.

My current sheath holds my shield, a runestaff, a dagger, and sometimes I put overflow boxes in it.

It only works with weapons, for a reason. (This will become more obvious tomorrow when the T4 power is revealed.) And they only hold one weapon each. The smaller worn slots may have smaller capacities than some sheaths you have deepened at merchants. (So, you may not be able to fit your falchion in your ankle-sheath.)

And one final teaser, Tier 4:
>"Glory to Tonis!" you declare as you draw a golvern broadsword from your silver scabbard with a flash of swirling white wind. A rush of racing golden motes fills the air for a moment.
>You are holding a golvern broadsword in your right hand.
>You place a hand on your silver scabbard and pray for Tonis's blessing. You feel your prayer answered as a swirling white wind erupts around your golvern broadsword and envelops it.
>You are holding a golvern broadsword enveloped in swirling white wind in your right hand.
And a couple of the ambients:
>The swirling white wind enshrouding your golvern broadsword licks at the air as if in search of something.
>Your golvern broadsword bursts to life with a flash of swirling white wind.
And if you don't want to make all that noise but still like the changed appearance to your weapon, you can turn off the ambient messaging.
This Tier 4 power, PRAY, has a 15 minute cool down. You can STOW and DRAW your weapon while the power is running and not lose it.
There are a handful of fluff verbs along the tiers, but that, more or less, is Holy Sheath!
There are not enough thanks in the world to give to GM Naiken who coded this beast and is responsible for making this plethora of customizations work. The goal was to create something that a player could really customize to their taste, with the hopes that many people wind up owning these but maybe yours is the only one set up the way yours is, with the god you follow.
See you at Rumor Woods!

Each slot is fixed in weight and capacity. They are:

Shoulder: 20
Wrist: 2
Belt: 15

It should play nice with almost any scripted weapon. There is a system in place to let us look at any situation where it doesn't work with a scripted weapon and see if we can fix that.

My sheath appears to be broken. It started as an arm sheath to hold 10 lbs. I have tried it with three different characters, all different deities. Leya, Imaera and Voaris.
All three get this message: "Hail the gods!" you declare as you draw a drakar-spiked eonake morning star from your vruul-skin sheath. The star traces an arc of bright light in its wake. A low rumble fills the air for a moment.
I'm unable to fit a 3 lb star in the arm sheath. (see below)
It may be altered, but its base noun must remain either "sheath" or "scabbard," and its descriptions should not reference where the sheath is worn, as the worn location is subject to change.

>get star
You remove a drakar-spiked eonake morning star inset with dragonfire opals on the haft from in your vruul-skin sheath.
>flip sheath
You adjust the straps on your vruul-skin sheath so it fits comfortably on the arm.

As you attach the vruul-skin sheath to your arm, your thoughts wander to the gods. A sense of assurance girds you.

Would it be possible to have the available deity messaging either posted here or added to the wiki? Just the sound/scent and light would be very helpful in making purchasing decisions.
It would also be very helpful to know which scripts are blacklisted (versus just having not been tested/corrected yet). We learned this morning on Discord that parasite weapons are blocked from getting the aura, and that "only a couple so far" have been blacklisted, but not which ones.
