Description
Crafting a suit of this armour is a serious undertaking for even a skilled armoursmith. The correct alloys must be made, the correct engraving and inlays, all designed to focus the irrepressible power of the human spirit. A warrior in a gryphonsoul aegis is extremely difficult to kill, provided that he can avoid venoms and curses that snuff out his life.
The armour is fairly popular in Dawn, and many suits are of Dawnish manufacture. They are often build with the four Gryphon Runes (Tykonus, Verys, Feresh and Jotra), or etched with an image of a gryphon. Some rare suits are constructed with an eagle-head helm and clawed gauntlets and boots, visually capturing the image of the heraldic beast.
In other parts of the Empire, the armour has a variety of other names. In Varushka for example, Schlacta wear heavy Hearthfire Chain and rely the power to see them through the dark winter nights. Both the Freeborn and the Highborn follow a tradition of delicately engraving each scale of the Lionsong Paean with a word, phrase or poetic line invoking strength, Courage or the name of a Paragon or Exemplar.
