from black plates, with a crown of layered gold. The snarling lion mempo also resembled gold. Secrets of the Lion, p. 77

The wearer was morer resistant against hostile spells, was capable of speech, but it preferred to communicate telepathically with its wearer. It imbued fear in the Matsu's enemies. Secrets of the Lion, p. 78

The armor was commissioned by Akodo to create a suit of armor for Matsu in an attempt to woo her, but she spurned the gift. After her marriage Matsu swore fealty to the Lion and accepted it. Matsu left it behind at Shiro Matsu on the first Day of Thunder.

Several Matsu Daimyo had worn the armor, but not all of them. Those who might wear the armor simply knew that it was theirs to wear.
