Tidesbane Armor

The Tidesbane Armor was the armor of legendary Admiral Elroar Tidesbane, after whom this armor takes it's name.

Elroar was renowned as a legendary navy tactician, and he served as King Fafner's admiral during his conquest. He gathered a reputation for always wearing his armor at sea, despite that normally being an incredibly dangerous thing to do. A normal person in armor would easily be thrown overboard by the waves, and quickly sink to the depths of the ocean.

This armor however, is incredibly light, as it was made by the finest of Elven blacksmiths. Light as a feather, but as hard as dragon scales. Additionally, Elroar had it enchanted to allow him to breathe underwater.

Legend
The legend behind the armor's enchantment was that Elroar had made a bet with the God of the Sea. He wagered that he could cross the ocean before the god, and if he were to win, the god would share some of his power.

Scoffing at the unlikelihood of this idea, the god quickly accepted with a laugh. However, as soon as he did, Elroar took out a piece of paper with the words "the ocean" written on it. He quickly crossed them out with a piece of coal.

Being a good sport, the god enchanted the man's armor to allow him to breathe underwater.

History
A few years after King Fafner united The Greylands, Elroar and his crew were reported to be lost at sea.

Roughly 800 years later, a group known as the Laign Adventurers Guild received a clue to where the armor may be. They travelled to the east coast of the Ire and came across a pile of large boulders. Between them was an entrance to a cave, where they found Elroar's men had placed him in a finely crafted tomb.

Inside the tomb was the Tidesbane Armor, and after much debating Vahlok was allowed to keep it.
