#### Ironclad Helm

---

*Helm won by Ironclad Soldiers.  
Provides high defense, but is so heavy that  
it requires great strength to move.  
  
The Ironclad Soldiers were minions created  
by the Old Iron King, their life granted by  
an enchantment of souls.  
  
Once, the Old King could have unraveled the  
greater mysteries, with the aid of his great soul,  
but he was led astray by his enormous fortune,  
becoming nothing more than a vulgar hedonist.*

#### Ironclad Gauntlets

#### Ironclad Leggings

Provides high defense, but are so heavy that  
they require great strength to move.  
  
The Ironclad Soldiers were minions created  
by the Old Iron King, their life granted by  
an enchantment of souls. By now this is  
again an iron husk, and fit to wear.  
  
Once, the Old King could have unraveled the  
greater mysteries, with the aid of his great soul,  
but he was led astray by his enormous fortune,  
becoming nothing more than a vulgar hedonist.*
