Harvested from the broken body of the legendary Sootre, the Fire Giant, this armor still beats with the pulse of hardened lava he was composed of. It contains the strength of fire, the unrelenting heat of power reverberating throughout its core. You will intimidate with this armor’s firey glow as the flames of the Sootre’s soul still fights to escape its confines. This armor is a reward for those who have been fighting for the Forge, who have sworn allegiance to the fight to release their god from the Devourer’s prison. Only those who have proven to be brave and relentless enough will wear this armor and strike fear into enemy hearts and those less experienced than you.
