Description
These sturdy suits of mage armour help a magician survive the dangers of the battlefield. These are among the earliest enchanted items mentioned in the annals of Urizen, as armoursmiths strove to improve their designs for Mage Armour. This was one of their first advances, made from the hides of a hardy breed of goat which lived only on the highest peaks of Morrow, studded with gems in the pattern of constellations. Though other designs for Mage Armour soon surpassed it, the technique is still taught to apprentices early in their careers as a practice piece.
Dawnish war witches often have Hero's Girdle bearing the heraldry of their Noble House, while all across the Empire, covens with a love of battle have matching sets made, emblazened with imagery symbolising their coven oath. The name was coined by less martial magicians, in awe of their colleagues who donned such armour and took to the battle lines against toughened warriors.
