The Shamir. Despite its age and use, apparently it had lost its potency around the time of destruction of Solomon's Temple at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar II.

In further research into Yiddish collections of Arthuriana, my father found a story of Gawain. You'll never guess what it is, I guarantee. Go on, guess. You're wrong.
It's a Yiddish story about Sir Gawain becoming Emperor of China.

The mezuzah was also an object of suspicion, and at the same time desire. That it was regarded as a magical device by Christians we know, for a fifteenth-century writer admonished his readers to affix a mezuzah to their doors even when they occupied a house owned by a non-Jew, despite the fact that the landlord might accuse them of sorcery. Indeed, the Jews in the Rhineland had to cover over their mezuzot, for, as a thirteenth-century writer complained, “the Christians, out of malice and to annoy us, stick knives into the mezuzah openings and cut up the parchment,” Out of malice, no doubt—but the magical repute of the mezuzah must have lent special force to their vindictiveness. Yet even Christians in high places were not averse to using these magical instruments themselves. Toward the end of the fourteenth century the Bishop of Salzburg asked a Jew to give him a mezuzah to attach to the gate of his castle, but the rabbinic authority to whom this Jew turned for advice refused to countenance so outrageous a prostitution of a distinctively religious symbol.

Pod-Together Day 1 Reveals 2023
The Matchmaking Bentley (Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, Queen (Band)) written by ChrisCalledMeSweetie, performed by Juulna Summary: Crowley's Bentley is determined to make the ineffable husbands' relationship more effable - with a bit of help from Queen.
Just Missed You (Ted Lasso (TV)) written by chainofclovers and gnen, performed by klb, rockinhamburger, petrodobreva, eafay70, Ceewelsh, JanuariumPods, meyml, ToughPaperRound, dairaliz, SSLeif, HowOldAreWe, gnen, chainofclovers, and DryDreams Summary: Ted and Beard, one year later. (They love each other, they will see each other again.) A "found audio" story for pod-together 2023.
Value (Jewish Scripture & Legend) written by Hagar, performed by eafay70 Summary: Le’a is kind as often as possible, but it doesn’t always help ease the sting of life in the shadow of her beautiful sister Rachel.
Lightning (Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes (1984 TV)) written by tadhana_writes, performed by gracicah Summary:"Lightning flashed. In that horrible moment of pure light, I saw my mistake."
Things are well. Holmes has returned, life has returned to a quiet lull, and they're in another case. Same thing as always. By the light of a thunderstorm, Watson realises that things may not be the as well as he wishes them to be.
Pay Attention to Me (A3! (Video Game), A3! (Anime)) written by Dokuhan, performed by ChaosKiro Summary: Chikage will swear up and down, left to right, backwards and forwards that jealousy is beneath him. But that becomes a lot harder to say when Sakuya and Tasuku start spending more time together than usual.
camouflage (Twisted-Wonderland (Video Game)) written by roxas_oxo13, performed by Wonderlandian_Geek Summary: “You remind me of myself, I guess.” “Impossible.” “Why’s that?” It's now or never. He’s already not likable; he has to nothing to lose. “You’re good-looking. You’re always surrounded by your flowery little posse. You always have something to say. You don’t know what it’s like to have people avoid you and tell you that your parents are the only thing you have going for you. It’s always do this, try this, be better, until it’s time to do a science project and suddenly you’re hot shit.”
Visit to a Strange World (陈情令 | The Untamed (TV), 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) RPF, 魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù) written by FlutterFyre, performed by pezzax Summary: Xiao Zhan awakens to find himself in an impossible situation.

Don the Mantle [text, audio] (Star Wars: Rebels) written by wanderingjedihistorian, performed by Flowerparrish Summary: The world spun as he took in the date before him. Perhaps this was a nightmare of some sort? Or a hallucination? The brief said they weren’t entirely sure what protections the device had on it. Forcing him to relive the assault on Lasan certainly would be a fitting way to neutralize him. Still, that didn’t…that idea didn’t seem right. This felt all too real.
Not Alone (เขา...ไม่ใช่ผม | Not Me (TV 2021)) written by FlutterFyre, performed by Wereflamingo Summary: Not that any of that mattered. Black wasn’t here and – like the rest of them – Sean was hooded, cuffed, and crammed in the back of this van like unwanted luggage. Helpless.
Get A Read On Me (Men's Hockey RPF) written by savvygambols, performed by Beryllinthranox Summary: Roope considers Jason, his broad chest and his strong arms, his big dark eyes and his beautiful brown skin. Jason is a good-looking man and his shirt doesn’t fit at all. “We’re going shopping after practice,” say Roope. “Uh—” says Jason. He rubs his palms on his jeans. His jeans don’t fit. Roope can fix this. Roope can fix all of this. “I mean, I don’t know, Roope. I don’t, like—I mean, you know me and clothes, right? It’s not my thing.” “It wasn’t a question,” says Roope. “We’re going.”

I will make a longer post about this later but I got access to the library's vault and asked if they had any rare Arthuriana and I am Indiana freaking Jones right now and I have this in my hands
I am happy, ancestors, that I sought out the same stories of King Arthur that you thought worth recording in Yiddish. I am honored that I hold this volume from the 16th century that you printed in my hands.
I am sorry and ashamed that I cannot read it.

A little edit of PULT Arven's canon design -- Well, his design for when he joins the main cast permanently. He basically has his canon design with slight changes to his skin tone, nose shape, and jewelry until then. (They/he)
At the end of the Paldea Arc, Arven asks to join the group formally in their adventures across the world. They make the decision to drop out of Mesagoza to focus on culinary studies around the globe (also kinda freeloading with the group as one girl pays for everything) since they know with how low their grades are due to their extreme number of absences, it'll be many years repeating the same class over and over before they can graduate properly... So he decides to cut his losses and start over with his education, getting experience by cooking for the group for the second half of the PULT story.
His right eye was clawed out by Koraidon when he was little, and when Turo took him to the hospital and ordered a glass eye, he bought the wrong color. For a long time Arven put their hair over their eye out of embarrassment. But, they embrace their father's mistake as a part of them by the end of the Paldea Arc. His entire body is covered in scratches and scars from spending most of his time out in the wilderness.
Did not draw his bag because I know I never remember to draw the characters' bags but rest assured he has his bag. It's filled with kosher cooking knives, camping supplies, berry baskets, pots, pans, weed, hunting spears, and a bow and arrows. Non-kosher knives and frying pans end up getting added to that collection just due to how many times people wanted bacon. They're always willing to accommodate people's diets and wishes of course, but they're not going to taint their utensils bro....
The group helps them shop for this outfit. They didn't have any clothes outside of their uniform that fit them, since the last time they went clothes shopping was when they were like seven. His green jacket is a sports jacket. He does not watch or play sports. He just bought it because the team had a Mabosstiff mascot.
