Helm of an Abiding Defender, infused with the stench of decay. Has a mask attached.
Hidden lore — revealed in game at high Radiance
Despite possessing no will of their own, the Abiding Defenders are revered among the Hallowed Sentinels due to both the identities of the corpses occupying the armours and the armour design itself, identical suits having been worn by some of the very first Sentinels.
