This crystal plate armor dark blue espagra scale as the inner liner, creating an effect similar to looking into deep water. Runes are inlaid with orichalcum are carved across the armor and it is infused with True water. This not only reduces the grating noise to a tolerable level, but allows the wearer considerable grace when moving..
The armor automatically resizes to fit the wearer once a thread is attached.
Thread Rank One
Key Knowledge: The owner must learn the armor’s Name. Effect: The armor is Initiative Penalty 4.
Thread Rank Two
Effect: The armor is Physical Armor 8.
Thread Rank Three
Key Knowledge: The owner must learn who crafted the armor. Effect: The armor is Initiative Penalty 3.
Thread Rank Four
Effect: The armor is Mystic Armor 8.
Thread Rank Five
Key Knowledge:
Effect: The wearer gains the Crystalline Depths ability. As a Free action for 1 Strain, veins of deep blue appear throughout the armor as the True water infusing it leaks to the surface, lubricating it. The wearer gains +3 to their next test to break free from an entangling or grappling effect until the end of the round.
Thread Rank Six
Effect: The True water from Crystalline Depths also provides increased flexibility to the armor and wearer, giving +2 to Jump Up tests when the ability is used.
Maximum Threads: 1 Mystic Defense: 14 Legend Point Cost: Warden
This high-necked cape is made from a fine sapphire blue cloth of elf make that feels like satin and shines brilliantly in the light. The edges are trimmed in ornate gold embroidery, revealing elven runes along the length. It’s held together by a delicate golden chain with an oak leaf clasp, though once a thread is attached this is purely decorative as the cape always rests comfortably on the wearer’s shoulders regardless of the conditions. Attempting to restrain or any other resistance is futile.
Thread Rank One
Key Knowledge: The owner must learn the cape’s Name. Effect: The wearer gains a +1 bonus to Initiative tests. At times the cape billows behind them dramatically. Sometimes it’s at an appropriate moment, others it’s when they’re sitting in the common room of an inn. A very careful observer notes it looks a little like something is holding onto the cape and flapping it to make it look like it’s billowing in a non-existent wind. There’s a non-zero chance those are grip marks at the end of the cape..
Thread Rank Two
Effect: The wearer gains +1 to their Social Defense. The cape spends noticeably more time billowing now, especially in social situations. From giving a grand speech to a clandestine meeting in the shadows: billowing.
Thread Rank Three
Key Knowledge: The owner must learn the bound spirit’s Name. Effect: The wearer gains a +2 bonus to Initiative tests. The wearer may think now they know an air elemental is bound to the cloak, they have some ability to mitigate the billowing. They would be wrong. So very wrong. If anything, attempts to get it to stop only make it worse. Or better. Depends where you are on the billowing issue. Watching a play? Definitely not popular. Watching an adult get into an argument with a rebellious piece of fabric? Perhaps the height of comedy.
Thread Rank Four
Effect: The wearer gains +1 to their Mystic Defense. At least the billowing is quite impressive and the cape seems to get almost impossibly long when it billows.
Thread Rank Five
Key Knowledge: The owner must learn the meaning of the runes. Effect: The owner can use the runes to keep the bound elemental in line or make peace with them. This decision must be made when this thread is woven and cannot be changed. If the owner uses the runes, they have complete control over the billowing and it looks natural, gaining a +3 bonus to Initiative tests. If they make peace with the bound elemental, they suffer at its whims, but it may listen to requests. It also actively attempts to help; as a Free action the wearer can spend 1 Strain to gain a +3 bonus to an Avoid Blow test.
Thread Rank Six
Effect: If the owner used the runes to control the elemental, they gain +1 to the Physical Defense. If they made peace with the elemental, the spirit allows the owner to store Karma in the cloak, up to the thread rank. The wearer may transfer Karma Points between their Karma pool and the armor as a Standard action, and may spend Karma from the armor as if it were in their Karma pool.
Thread Rank Seven
Deed Must travel to where the cloak was crafted and add your own rune representing your relationship to the spirit. Effect: If the owner used the runes to control the elemental, they gain +3 to their Physical Defense. If the owner made peace with the elemental, they may spend 1 strain as a Simple Action to add +3 to the Physical Defense of an ally with a lower initiative, as the cloak billows in front of the ally obscuring them from the enemies.
Thread Rank Eight
Effect: The wearer gains the Wind Beneath your Wings special maneuver Wind Beneath your Wings (Adept, Initiative): Prior to rolling Initiative, the wearer may nominate an ally. After initiative is rolled, compare the wearer’s initiative value to that of the chosen ally. For each extra success, the wearer may spend 1 strain to increase the chosen allies initiative value by 2

After the wearer is hit by an attack, but before damage is determined, they may spend a Karma point to add their Karma Die to either Physical or Mystic Armor. When the owner uses this ability, a swirl of magical energy appears where the attack will hit immediately before the impact and strengthens the area before dissipating. This ability can be used a number of times per round equal to the thread rank.

Brief Backstory:
Thorkell was always fascinated by weapons, even from an early age. It was not so much their destructive power as their ability to seemingly turn fate. Nearly every heroic adventurer had an equally impressive weapon. While other trolls would practice their skills with weapons, Thorkell preferred to learn about the great weapons and what truly made them so awe inspiring. It was no wonder then that he decided to try his hand at creating the weapons he so admired from his books. He soon came to realize, though that just making the weapons was not enough. He must learn firsthand what truly made a weapon great and in the process forge a name for his weapons. What better way to prove how great his handiwork was than to prove it in the field. And so Thorkell set out with his trusty sword, Gram.
