These belts were worn by those fighters who refused to given in to their own age. Fighting despite their grey beards and whittled bones, the tremor they made when they entered the room was unfathomable to many. One more day in the game meant that life was good and ale was flowing freely. The belt therefore lost the goal of providing evasion as the weary older warriors couldn't dodge anyway. It however increased their discipline and kept them upright despite the hardest of pummellings.
