Description: Lorek was once a Jensaarai, until he was exiled being wrongly accused of killing a fellow member of the order. Although an exile, he was determined to still follow the ways of the Jensaarai, and so he went to the best armoursmiths he could find on Balmorra, a small factory in the city of Sobrik, and had them create this armour from his designs. True to the Jensaarai way of crafting armour that resembles a chosen animal, the right shoulder pad is shaped like a wing, as well as various engravings of wings on the gauntlets. Areas of the body that require movement, such as the spine, knee, elbows, ankles and wrists are scaled to allow the flexibility needed without costing too much protection. The armour itself is rather bulky when being worn, but the actual plating is only a centimeter or so thick. The tabard and cape are made of shell spider silk, allowing some protection against vibroblades and blaster pistols, but yet again these are mainly for decoration. Golden decorative swirls and small wings make up the design for both.
This being a decorative piece of armour more than anything, it has very little strengths. Apart from the average protection from blasters and vibroblades, it provides nothing special in terms of practicality.
It's weaknesses are the poor quality of material and design compared to proper Jensaarai armour (which is made with Phrik), and the fact that Lorek chose to have no helmet with this set.
