Armour of a Paladin.
Hidden lore — revealed in game at high Radiance
Paladins are a key element of the Dark Crusaders' military might, being both skilled fighters and horse riders, with many opposing armies being thrown into disarray at the outset of a battle by the charge of a force of Paladins on their fearsome warhorses.

Rest of the Paladin set

How it compares
No standout stat — 42nd of 95 chest pieces for physical defence, and similarly mid-table elsewhere. Worth wearing for its set or its look rather than its numbers.
