The Armoury

as one of the few factions, other than the mystical Castamirim and a few wealthy Adunakhori houses, The desstugals of the Kingsmen have in their armoury the ancient armour worn in the ancient days, when the first adunakhori pledged their allegience to Mautark and Dur hônt, the Great Eye. how they have earned this honour in recent days, is one of Umbars great legends - the tale of Gimilkhad, father to the current captain of the Kingsmen Zagâr, and The Great Raid, a tale the Adunakhori of the order to this day boast about and drink in honour to.

the armour is known for its dark and blue colours, which amongst the folklore of Umbar is said to reflect the cold dark sea and the storm the wearer brings to his enemies.

when a initiate of the order have earned the title of Desstugal, he is given a set of Târk shoulders, one of three artifacts, that now shows to the people of Umbar, what he have achieved.

the second symbol is the sabels of the order. these are not of Târk steel, but are of unkown origins. some say they were the weaponry of the soldiers, who sailed under king Castamir himself.

the last symbol is either a tark-made shield or spear, cementing his position in the formation of the Ar-Adunaim.

often, the desstugal will adorn these artifacts with his own sigil or other ways to make his mark on it. it is said, that if a desstugal die in battle, his spirit will live on his artifacts, and follow the Desstugal, who "inherit" his old gear in battle.

it is rare for a desstugal to wear more than this single piece of tark plate, but a few officers or adunakhori have tough earned this honour. one of the few in recent times is Zagar who through his prowess and ruthlessnes in the northern war effort, have earned his alleged father Gimilkhads old armour and sword.
