Armor of the Stars
This armor gleams with an iridescent inner light. It is said that the great Jerred Stormlord earned his name when he stood defiantly before an adult blue dragon while wearing such a suit. He gave no ground to the monster and its lightning breath never touched him. The name 'Stormlord' was granted posthumously however, since the armor offers little protection against tooth and claw.

Aslyferund Elven Chain
These fine mesh suits feel more like cloth than armor, yet many a killing blow has been turned aside by their links.

Benzo's Luck
This item is named for Benzo's Tale, a halfling favorite told to children leaving home. Ridiculed for his size, foolish Benzo tried to show off by challenging the largest dragon that he could find. He was squashed so flat that several suits of armor were cut from his original. While obviously untrue, would-be adventurers hearing this story tend to choose opponents carefully, especially after receiving a suit of Benzo's Luck as a farewell gift.

Rogue Links
Armor of this type began to appear in the lands adjacent to Thay in the Year of Smoldering Spells, 1020 DR. An irremovable coating of soot has blackened it, dulling noise of movement and making it ideal for stealthy endeavors. Close examination, however, reveals that the charring was not the result of externally applied heat, and suggests the original owner suffered some sort of Thayvian-induced combustion. This lends a very morbid feeling to the suit.

The Breast of Ilum Lura
During the height of the first empire of Illefarn, the Order of the Sallow Leaf formed the rear guard of the emperor's traveling coterie. Though every member was exceptional in his or her martial prowess and loyalty to the empire, their fine senses were of particular value. Many enemies of Illefarn strove to lay low its emperor, and the guards of the ordr er were always ready to repel hostile assailants.
In -1223 DR, the head of the Order of the Sallow Leaf was a devoted warrior named Galan Whitesparrow. The threat to the emperor and his associates was especially fierce during this time, and the resources of the order were spread thin. Galan happened to be with a detachment of the order when the emperor's favorite niece, Ilum Lura, was attacked by assassins. Galan and his comrades saved the life of Ilum Lura at great personal cost. Ilum Lura personally thanked Galan for his efforts and the normally stoic ranger fell in love with her. Ilum's sense of social propriety prevented her from publicly reciprocating Galan's advances, but he accepted an elaborate metal pin from her. The leaf and berry pin was woven into his fine chain shirt, poised over his own heart.
Galan Whitesparrow died in the year -1215 DR, defending the imperial baggage on its passage through the Mere of Dead Men. His body was never recovered, nor were his arms and armor.
