Midvinter is a harsh world, her winters are merciless and her people have been bred to withstand such hardships. Against such a climate, a treacherous world with many challenges to be faced in their rather isolated and nomadic style of livelihood, the Valkyri have been no strangers to battle in the rising tides of personal pursuits and claims laid to bare across their lands. For such a bold and proud people, they deserve only the best of arms to bare and thus Teign Hœgr has sought to bestow upon them, one of many creations from the fires of Beornskald.The combatant piece has been fashioned to offer protection against blunt force weapons and those of the make of metal and miscellaneous alloys; yet in the Valkyri's history and their affiliation with notable force users and wielders of the swords of light, Teign has introduced a rather common metal known as Turadium for which proves a strong hand against even the raw energy blade of a lightsaber.
Metals shaped into breast and armor plating, mounted atop leather undergarments and armor-weave coveralls and finally accompanied by the foreign technologies of wayfarers referred to as the Faraday Cage, this battle attire has been modified and enhanced to offer protection against immobilizing weapons fire such as Ion and energy/electrical currents.
For all the defense that this attire provides however, there are natural limitations that keeps the wearer grounded and reminded of their mortality. Heavy impact and kinetic damages will break bones, the armor cannot defend against the limitations of the sentient body nor mind and ranged weapons fire can be effective given the weight and mass of the overall attire and it's immobility when compared to lighter armors.
