The **Hell-Forged Armour** is a suit of armour worn by the Warriors of the Dark Gods. It is worn by those who walk the Path of the Favoured as well as those on the Path of the Exiled.

## Forging

When a warrior starts its journey on the Path of the Favoured it is said that they start by acquiring their armour. A common way to achieve this is to pilgrimage to the Wasteland and find a daemon smith to forge the armour . Though there are other places and other way one might acquire the armour, yet a common theme seems to be the daemonic or strange smith .

## Design

The armour has been described as commonly being made from layered plates of dark steel, sometimes reminiscent of the carapace of an insect. The suits are often adored with spikes and cruel weaponry, as well as icons to the warrior's patron Dark God  .

In some cases, it has been described that the Hell-Forged Armour fuses with the wearer. Others describe that the wearer straps themself into the armour at the start of the day .

### Path of the Favoured

There are records of warriors in armour of many shapes and colours  , sometimes seemingly dependant on the Dark God of the wearer.  Browns and greens for Akaan, blues and violet for Cibaresh, bright green for Kuulima, white for Nukuja, regal blues and purple for Savar, gold for Sugulag, and red and black for Vanadra.

*As a person advances on the Path of the Favoured, it often seems that their armour becomes more extravagant and unique*. Common among followers of Akaan are helmet that leave their jaw exposed. Chosen of Cibaresh have been seen in armour displaying erotic images, as well as face masks. Warriors of Kuulima oftens adore their armour with stolen loot, while the warriors of Nukuja often let their armour rust. Mail made from coins has been seen on warriors of Sugulag.

### Path of the Exiled

Those that walk on the Path of the Exiled have been described as having their armour fused to their body . They have also been said to have had their Dark God icons overwritten with the icon of Father Chaos, the infinity sign.
