These suits of exotic plate armour are Vaara artifacts dating back to the era of the Blood Princes (the ancient vampires known as the Alukah). It is possible these were originally taken from the vaults of Taath Naahct.
They are designed for a slender body type, and composed of a rare material that resembles obsidian or black glass. The material is exceptionally hard, and immune to the typical afflictions of metallic armour. The interlocking black plates are cleverly designed for flexibility and smooth movement.
Beyond their aesthetic qualities, this armour is also designed to complement the Alukah physiology. Although it has a high range of movement, it is certainly not lighter than normal steel armour - with their inhuman strength, the extra weight is of little concern.
However, the dark material provides total protection from the sun's rays. The visors on the helmets have no eyelets, but are partially transparent to the wearer, permitting clear (tinted) vision, while screening out the harsh glare of day.
CUSTOMIZATION:
This armour may also be stripped down to lighter components, though that would sacrifice some of its advantages. Worn as a Breastplate or Half-late, it functions as normal armour, but permits a +3 Dex allowance.
It also looks cool.
