Mythology[]
| “ | Fashioned by the best smiths in the cosmos, a dwarven breastplate was a rare treasure indeed. Conventional weapons could not pierce such an armament, making its wearer a formidable opponent. "Shields ye there can choose, and smooth-shaven spears, gold-red helms, and of Huns a multitude, silver-gilt saddle-cloths, sarks gory-red, the dart's obstruction, and bit-gripping steeds." -- The Poetic Eddas, The Lay of Atli |

- The cuirass in the icon in Retold is the same as that in Meteoric Iron Armor.
