Ashwalker Armor
Legend
How naive was it of them to believe that ruination would be decided in one fateful night; one glorious battle to cancel the apocalypse. Knights and men-at-arms would line alongside paladins and holy servants to defeat the forces of destruction and rebuke the looming threat of my ascension.
When these oh-so-virtuous warriors vanquished me and basked in the glory of their apparent victory, they sealed their fate and the one of their homelands. When my body shattered, the dust of my decaying remains stuck to their skin and armor, cursing them with all the might of my necromantic powers. In their hubris, they didn’t suspect that the great foe of their age could have one last trick up their sleeve, but they found out soon enough.
When their crops failed, rotting in place or simply failing to find enough sun through the thick gray clouds that shrouded the sky, they suspected something was odd. When famine led to plague and sickness, and that the fallen returned to hunt the living, they knew they had been fooled. But it was when they saw the empty husk of my ash-stained armor walk the roads of their land that they knew there was never even a victory to celebrate, for the Harbinger of Ruin has returned, and I walked in the ashes of their fallen nations.
Description
This impressive breastplate covers the full body and is articulated with mobile leather plates that make moving easy and give the armor a comfortable fit. Made of dyed vegetable leather, the armor presents an aged finish that evokes ancient battles and the decay of time and death. In LARP, this piece can be worn by undead champions, revenants, shadow cultists, necromancers, death knights, and grim warlords. The body armor also supports the pauldrons, which are sold separately and with many options, allowing for an asymmetrical pair or to simply go with a single piece. The whole piece is adjusted with thick leather straps on the back. Because of the aging patina and the voluntary use of imperfect hides to craft these sets, each armor is guaranteed to have subtle unique features, natural skin texture, and scars enhancing the final product with details that cannot easily be imitated by the artisan.

The Azure Standard: Authentic Original Designs
You might see cheap, low-quality imported copies using our stolen photos across the web. When you buy directly from Azure Workshops, you are investing in the authentic, original design. Here is what makes the real deal worth it:
- True Leather Mastery: Depending on the item's tier, we use thick, highly durable buffalo leather or premium vegetable-tanned leather. It doesn't peel or crack like cheap imitations; it gains character as you adventure.
- Battle-Ready Hardware: We use tough, plated steel rivets and buckles. Your straps are built to hold under the stress of combat.
- Handcrafted in Montreal: Every cut and rivet is done by our fairly paid artisans in Canada.
- Lifetime Repair Warranty: We stand by our work. While we cannot prevent normal wear and tear from combat, we offer a lifetime repair warranty on the structural integrity of our house brand. If a strap breaks or a rivet pops, we fix it.
