Power Suits: The Armor Of Victory
When things were darkest during the War Against Elves & Men, a group of brave people set out on a last ditch attempt to stop the subjugation of free beings by these two loathsome races. Made up of Dwarves, Gnomes, Kobolds, Orcs, Halflings, Goblins, Lizardfolk, Beastmen and the Wee Folk, they used magic and technology to create a mighty weapon. The task took months and cost many lives, but in the end, they had built something wonderful and deadly.
Gold plated and studded with magnificent gems. the Armor of Victory is beautiful to behold. No gaps appear at the joints and it makes no more sound than cloth when moving. It is light to wear and nothing, not dirt nor blood nor gore, sticks to it for more than a few seconds.
Defensively, the armor is immune to all weapons and will burn the flesh of any foe that touches it. If the wearer so desires, they cannot be moved from where they stand by any force. Spells directed against the armor reflect back at the caster with terrible consequences. No chemicals know will affect it. Inside it, the wearer is magically protected from all harm. Be it weather or hellfire. While wearing the armor, a person has vastly increased strength, vigor and senses.
From the standpoint of offense, the Armor of Victory in unmatched. A blow from a gauntleted fist will not just kill a foe, but will cause them to explode. Any weapon used by the armor’s wearer becomes many times more deadly, nearly indestructible and can cut or smash through most materials. Add to this the fact that the armor can teleport in a line of sight manner and you have the reason 200,000 elves and 350,000 humans died in slightly less than one month.
The armor does have some restrictions that were placed upon it to prevent misuse. Naturally, it cannot ever be worn by humans, elves or any of their allies. While the armor adjusts to fit beings of many sizes, it can only be worn by one member of each race per week and then only for a single day. It can never be worn by the same individual twice. If the armor does not enter combat within 15 minutes of being put on, it will forcibly eject the wearer and not allow anyone else to wear it for 12 hours.
Since the war ended, the armor has stood like a statue in the center of the great city of Zollenberg, awaiting the day when it might be needed again. It is a popular site for pilgrims and visitors.
