Ashwalker Short Armor Les Artisans d’Azure

Legend

How naive was it of them to believe that ruination would be decided in one fateful night; one glorious battle to cancel the apocalypse. Knights and men-at-arms would line alongside paladins and holy servants to defeat the forces of destruction and rebuke the looming threat of my ascension.

When these oh-so-virtuous warriors vanquished me and basked in the glory of their apparent victory, they sealed their fate and the one of their homelands. When my body shattered, the dust of my decaying remains stuck to their skin and armors, cursing them with all the might of my necromantic powers. In their hubris, they didn’t suspect that the great foe of their age could have one last trick up their sleeve, but they found out soon enough.

When their crops failed, rotting in place or simply failing to find enough sun through the thick gray clouds that shrouded the sky, they suspected something was odd. When famine led to plague and sickness, and that the fallen returned to hunt the living, they knew they had been fooled. But it was when they saw the empty husk of my ash-stained armor walk the roads of their land that they knew there was never even a victory to celebrate, for the Harbinger of Ruin has returned, and I walked in the ashes of their fallen nations.

Description

This short leather breastplate covers the torso in order to keep maximum mobility and give the armor a comfortable fit. The whole piece is adjusted with thick leather straps on the back and leave the waist exposed. The body armor also supports the pauldrons, which are sold separately and with many options, allowing for an asymmetrical pair or to simply go with a single piece. This armor is a great choice for death cultists, undead assassins, and grim necromancers in LARP. Because of the aging patina and the voluntary use of imperfect hides to craft these pieces, each armor is guaranteed to have subtle unique features, natural skin texture and scars enhancing the final product with details that cannot easily be imitated by the artisan.
