This artifact belongs to Mata'u Ata.
The grand armor of Mata'u Ata was a gift to her by Merala after the defeat of the terrible beast Dulathan, records of it being the first of her glorious acts marking the armor with glyph and images engraved in Orichalcum. The suit itself is mostly Moonilver, though hide offered by Dulathan as part of a treaty guards the joints as well as acts as the backing of the metal. A few of the acts on the armor are contests and battles with Lunars for the right to own the armor itself that changed the landscape over the days or even weeks they went on. While Mata'u did not win all of them, she had gained the respect enough to keep it. She was a Solar not unlike the Lunars in her own way.
The armor speaks to a queen who ruled by unyielding righteousness that she required more of herself than those around her, and there is a tinge of sadness in it for those wounds that the armor could never protect her from, such as the loss of friends. Wounds she refused to let stop her, and in so they would only grow worse unless someone took time to treat them in some fashion. The armor was a companion she could trust to always be there for her, and it slowly awakened to the needs of its wearer. This armor has two heartstone settings on the chest where a sun and a moon are shown coming together in the sky in an image remembering her prayer before the war after the time of the Ochre Fountain.
A Solar who spends +6m to attune to Fearless In the Face of Any Risk is able to give the armor the Silent tag, moving like a prowling beast after prey. Also, they are able to safely parry lethal attacks with bare hands, striking even the mightiest of blows aside like silk on the wind.
Cost: --; Mins: Essence 1 Type: Permanent Keywords: None Duration: Permanent Prerequisites: None
Any time the wearer is in a fury granted by Battle Fury Focus (or similar charms), she gains (greater of Essence or three, maximum five) dice to break or resist anything that would hold her from her foes. Avalanches, toxins, or the Silent Wind itself find her fury battering them aside, left broken by the wayside.
Cost: 5m (+2lhl); Mins: Essence 2 Type: Reflexive Keywords: None Duration: Instant Prerequisites: Shall Not Bow
When Shall Not Bow is active, this evocation can be used to enhance the effect so that any effect or barrier she successfully "breaks" is torn from existence and completely unmade, allowing lingering effects to be banished. Large effects can't be completely stopped this way with a single use, but with multiple resistances she can take them apart piecemeal. This effect cannot destroy that which is immune to the ravages of time and reinforced against such destruction,-- utterly imperishable barriers and artifacts, in particular, are proof.
At Essence 4+, however, this Evocation can be enhanced with an additional +2 lethal health level cost in order to similarly utterly destroy even such mighty restraints that the bearer manages to overcome.
