Helm once worn by a man sworn to protect the First Luminary.
An Adyr-worshipping blacksmith secretly added blood from severed hands into the molten gold used for armour destined for the First Luminary's chief guard; the smithy prayed Adyr's influence would spread throughout Orius' Church.

How it compares
No standout stat — 36th of 96 head pieces for physical defence, and similarly mid-table elsewhere. Worth wearing for its set or its look rather than its numbers.
