That's quite interesting--I'm familiar with the idea of a weapon choosing or rejecting a wielder, though your methods sound a bit different than ours.
As to the Armiger, it's more an arrangement of them. The broad idea is that of manifesting weapons from thin air; it's how our entire army functions. We do have an armory, of course, but anything the Crownsguard would ordinarily carry is instead pulled from that space when it's needed.
[Ardyn gestured vaguely as he spoke, halfway resembling the motion of curling his hand around an invisible blade.]
For royals specifically, there's more to it. I am only the second king, but the general idea of it is that the descendants of the Lucian line can be given the skill and knowledge to wield their predecessors' weapons. I can manifest and use both my own sword and my father's, for example.
