Thriving Stag
Maximum Threads: 1
Mystic Defense: 16
Legend Point Cost: Master
This bronze helmet is of a curious design. It resembles a Corinthian helmet with massive antlers affixed to it and extending out. Swirling, circular glyphs are etched into the surface with a tidy row of runes carved along the edge. These runes are most prominent along the nasal and cheeks. The helmet’s metal has a warm patina of use and a faint green sheen when the light strikes it just right.
When a thread is attached, the helmet adjusts to fit the wearer, including allowing for a troll's horns along with the antlers. An aventail of morning glory vines begins growing from the helmet, extending in length as the wearer’s thread rank increases.
