Iron Armor




 * As it was born from Hellfire, forged by the Necromancer’s magic, my armour resists fire and provides me with strong defence.


 * - Kain

This armour was originally worn by the nobleman Kain before his transformation into a vampire. It was originally white in colour; most likely the same armour as worn by Knights of Willendorf and King Ottmar's Army of the Last Hope to whom Kain held allegiance. Kain was wearing this armour when he was murdered by brigands. When the Necromancer Mortanius ressurected Kain as a vampire the Iron Armour was transformed with him into its black and red form. Though it had no magical powers this was a reliable suit of armour that provided decent protection from the dangers of Nosgoth. Kain regularly wore the Iron Armour even when he had better suits at his disposal.

Kain still wore the Iron Armour right up until he made his fateful choice at the foot of the Pillars but seems to have abandoned it shortly afterwards. It is unknown what happened to it following the events of Blood Omen.

Trivia
