About this armor

Weighs 3.6 and provides 5 poise. Include the weight of your weapons and talismans when checking your equip load.

Its elemental protection is strongest against lightning (4.2) and weakest against magic (3.6). Choose the piece around the damage you are facing.

Costs 1,000 runes from the merchant described below. The shop has one copy of this piece, so resting does not refill it after purchase.

In-game description

Helm made from strips of iron fastened together.

Worn by warriors of the Land of Reeds.

The Land of Reeds has long been locked in a miserable civil war, during which time it has remained alienated from the cultures of its neighbors. Little wonder that the entire nation has succumbed to blood-soaked madness, or so it is said.
