“Forged in the abyss between nobility and the grave. Worn by those who rule the night, not merely survive it.”
This armour is a terrifying masterpiece of gothic craftsmanship. Polished plates of —almost black, but with deep burgundy veins that seem to pulse like blood—are etched with ancestral vampiric runes. The breastplate bears the sigil of a forgotten bloodline: a chalice overflowing with a crimson moon. A high, segmented collar protects the neck, while a tattered velvet half-cape (dyed in dried-rose red) cascades from the left pauldron, which is sculpted into the snarling head of a vampiric wolf. The gauntlets end in subtle, retractable claw-tips, and the sabatons are eerily silent, muffled by shadow-touched leather.
Heavy plate would slow a vampire down, neutralizing their natural advantage of supernatural speed. The Royal Vampire Armour offers a middle ground—protection against glancing blows and arrows, but light enough to allow for acrobatic dodging. It is designed for a duelist who expects to parry a strike and counter with a life-draining spell or a rapid thrust of a blade.
