Lore
| “ | You open the door and recoil in horror as the light reflects off a dozen eyes staring at you. It takes you a moment to realize that you're looking not at a demon but at a strange, almost grotesque set of armor you've ever seen.
The helmet reminds you of the murmillo helmet, but it's perfectly round and much bigger and heavier. There are sixteen eyeholes covered with thick glass, suggesting that the helmet is immovable. Such armor would be worse than useless in combat, yet it was crafted with great care and precision. There is a single word engraved on it - Aegis. |
