Armor of the Damned (Ar-Mor of the Damd)

The Armor of the Damned looms as a formidable relic within the Crean Isles, an imposing obsidian set adorned with the visage of a monstrous countenance etched upon its belt. Infused with dark necromantic energies, this imposing armor stands as one of the most potent and coveted artifacts in the realms. Comprising four distinct artifacts — the Dark Sword, the Rib Cage, the Shield of the Yawning Dead, and the Skull Helmet — its assembly was initially orchestrated by the malevolent hand of Abraxas during the tumultuous years of the Dark War. Yet, even after its assembly, fragments remained scattered across the Isles, a remnant of Abraxas' incomplete acquisition. Exploiting these remnants, the Crimson Knights capitalized on the scattered pieces, orchestrating the assembly of a second Armor of the Damned. Elcant, now purged from the corrupting influence that once ensnared him, donned this newly forged armor, wielding its formidable power in the ongoing battle against darkness.

History

The history of this ominous artifact is steeped in dark legend. It traces back to the elemental lords, each guarding a fragment crucial for the Armor's construction. Abraxas, driven by his insidious ambition, orchestrated the demise of these elemental guardians, claiming their fragments to forge the malevolent Armor of the Damned. However, remnants of this destructive forging scattered across the Isles, unclaimed and overlooked by the Dark Lord. These remnants were ingeniously utilized by the Crimson Knights to craft a second Armor, one that would come to play a pivotal role in the war against darkness. After the Dark War's conclusion, the Armor worn by Abraxas met its demise, destroyed in the tumult of conflict, while Elcant, now redeemed from corruption, stands as the guardian of the second Armor, ensuring its enigmatic legacy remains under vigilant watch.

Significance

Throughout the Dark War, the Armor of the Damned was a pivotal force, serving as a conduit for unimaginable power for both Abraxas and Elcant. Its ominous and potent necromantic energies endowed its wearers with formidable might, altering the very fabric of battles and conflicts that raged across the Isles. The very presence of this armor tilted the balance of power, allowing its wearers to command an unparalleled authority that struck fear into the hearts of their adversaries.

Rarity

The Armor of the Damned, a rarity unparalleled within the Crean Isles, embodies an exclusive and coveted status owing to its limited existence; only two of these malevolent armors are known to have been forged. This scarcity only amplifies the immense significance that each set holds in the annals of history, as they stand as relics of profound power and dark, ominous energies that had the potential to shape the fate of the Isles.
