"This hauntingly elegant set of armor was once a sacred vestment of a revered warrior-priestess of Kelemvor. Forged in sanctified steel, it was designed not only to protect her body, but to reflect her solemn role as a dignified guide to the afterlife—a figure of peace, finality, and mercy. It bore the sigils of judgment and balance, its dark tones an homage to death's inevitability, not its cruelty.
But death was not her end.
After her fall in battle, her corpse was stolen by a deranged necromancer, a man who had once loved her in secret. His forbidden ritual tore her soul from the grasp of Kelemvor, but the god’s divine protection had not faded. The resurrection failed—and the body twisted. The armor, once a vessel of divine purpose, absorbed the backlash of celestial and necrotic forces and was forever changed.
What remains is a grim echo of its former self. The armor's dark beauty endures, but now it radiates cold, hateful energy. Subtle runes of warding are cracked, weeping black ichor in fine lines across the plating. Its intricate lace-like trim and high gothic form remain pristine—as if mocking the purity it once stood for. A bitter aura lingers around it, whispering of interrupted rest and vengeance denied."
