Mythos Myrth
"It's just not consistent."
"What?"
"I mean, I get the mythos of it - don't carry metal through a fairy powered gate - but I mean, I'm wearing my metal armor and carrying my metal weapons!"
"Ah. Maybe your armor and weapons have magic runes on them that counteract the fairy magic of the portals?'
"...okay, but then why not just let me make a magic stamp and I'll stamp my unrefined metals with runes and carry them through the gate? Huh? It's just not consistent."
*LOL* "Right, I'm sure everybody thought of branding their metal for rune gate travel, obvious loophole."
"I mean, what, they're like 'oooh, fairies can't allow metal, noooo metal is evil' and then they thought, 'oh, but your metal is in a weapon, that's ok!' - like what are these fairies thinking?"
"I think it's game developers, love."
"Noooo! Scary metal! Go smelt it into something sharp or we can't let you through!"
*ROFL*
