He could inherit the armor, though.
Then better shadow armor is also good for shadowboy.

We've got 4 more kids we can potentially have, and odds are all of them will have shadow powers.

Good points. In this case.

[X] Create little fylgjas representing Abjorn and his loved ones (Halla and the kids) made out of gold, forge welded onto the armor. Make Abjorns bear bigger and stylize it like a protector of the others. Add a silver moon and stars made out of either silver or gems (depending on availability) above the fylgjas.

Oh, man. I have no idea. I mean, we use silver, plus cool stuff we find at market but for, like, a coherent description or theme? No clue.
Maybe forge little representations of the Fylgjas of him and his loved ones (Halla and the kids so far) out of gold.
Under a moon of silver and start of silver/gems we might have.
Maybe with the bear oversized and acting as a protector of the other fylgjas.

I'm not a specialist in armor, but this looks like something doable but would command a powerful aesthetic.

I am now wondering what does Abjorn get with the Bearbreaker kenning. I don't think we ever learned that?
Anyway, all Abjorn lacks now to complete his theme its gaining the Bear Hugareida. I wonder how you can obtain Animal Hugareida. Maybe if we are lucky we will learn during this hunt.

Just like we are going against something thats in the category of "wolf", even though only a quick glance was taken.
On animal hugreida.... i imagine either the animal lover trait would help, if you breed/care for said animals enough or, as Forkmar got it, a good fight that leaves a memory.
iirc, IF said that he gets a bonus against anything that fits the category of "bear".

And dont forget a bear themed helmet!

I've argued in favour of this before, but yes, I think especially if we see this as an inheritance to hand down to our kids, it makes sense to make it the best we can. There's likely synergies to compounding shadow powers, and armour which makes the wearer tougher and makes the hard to see would be pretty cool.
So I vote:
[X] Yes
I think silver, and see if we find anything especially fitting? I think most gemstones would not suit this as the colour palette is dark and they could look gaudy, but maybe an amber clasp which would evoke the idea of the forest, or something?
EDIT: Missed some posts lol

Stoke gives +1 dice per, is available again for the next action. <- ok for the hunt
Burn gives +3 dice per, is available again next turn. <- not ok for the hunt
its not the burn that takes them away for the whole turn, just the same stoking as the one used in battle, even if burning was used in the plan, because burning all three would give +9, not +3 as in the plan, we are safe-ish, as far as we know.

Basic Stoking for +1 success per Aspect you get back within hours at most, often a lot less. Basically as soon as you catch your breath. That's the only kind of Stoking we're doing. That'd still be a mistake to do, like, the day of the hunt but a turn is 2 months, so we're good.
There is a version that burns it out for the turn (for +3 successes per Aspect), but we're not doing that.

In fairness, Abjorn didn't get a Bear Muna for fighting the bear, so it's not a sure thing by any means.
