A hood fashioned from the thick, fur-covered hide of a fierce beast foreign to Mournstead.
Hidden lore — revealed in game at high Radiance or Inferno
Harkyn had lived longer than any man was meant to and in that time committed acts of both great good and appalling evil, and although the latter typically retained greater clarity and significance, time and the fickle nature of memory would bury some of his worst crimes deep within his mind, forgotten.

How it compares
No standout stat — 68th of 96 head pieces for physical defence, and similarly mid-table elsewhere. Worth wearing for its set or its look rather than its numbers.
