Dragonrider Armor

In-Game Description

Armor worn by the Dragonriders,
King Vendrick's royal guard.
According to legend, the Dragonriders
straddled not horses, but wyrms.

Aspiring Dragonriders who had not the mettle
to handle their training were torn apart by
their wyrms, and those who survived emerged
with deific strength.
