Graagcrest The Goantine Knight



Graagrest is one of the most famous of his race.  While he started out as a stall cleaner for the kings horses years ago, he gained fame early.
After turning the adult age he enlisted in the army of his king and rose fast through the ranks.
While war broke out between his race and the Elves of the Woodland realm of Tasgrandium he endeavored to find the "Ring of the Seal".
This ring, while non magical, was stolen from the elves by a corrupted general of the Goantine army. The result was a bloody war that raged for several years  over several countries.
After looking for years in the dark and damp underground he found his prize. A giant creature known as a Trigaldar kept it in its lair.
Graagcrest slew the beast in a battle of magic and might. As the beast died he grabbed the ring and made his way to the front lines of the war.
Here he met with the Elven commander and returned the ring. Prompting  a truce and an eventual end to the war.
Graagcrest was Knighted and is now the General of the Goantine army.
Graagcrest wears into battle black platemail and a red cloak emblazoned with his countries crest. He also has a long sword named "Glimshard". The sword has some hidden magical powers but has been known to glow as bright as the sun and radiate heat of immense proportions.   
He is well skilled in melee combat, unarmed combat and survival. His strength and wisdom are his key to holding his station in life.

Ra'Erist Armor
In the deserts of the east armies don this great golden suit of mail. It is adorned with gold and black steel. It is also covering a thin body suit to keep out sand.
Although the armor is heavy and has black on it, the air circulates through it well and seems to be ok in battle while in the heat of the lands.
The armor is worn by generals and commanders for the armies where similar white and gold suits are worn by the regular troops.
The armor give the equal protection of Platemail. This can be incorporated into your fantasy setting this way.
Magical varieties of this armor include a climate enchantment to make sure it keeps the wearer cool. Also, there are some that include "Sand walk", a magical effect that allows those in it to walk across soft sands without sinking. And finally a rarer version contains the enchantment of the "Sand storm".
Sand storm causes a wind to arise up to a 100' wall of wind blowing sand into the eyes of attackers. While it does little physical damage it does have the ability to blind some and reduce visibility by 75%.
Ra'Erist armor is locally twice the price of Platemail and four times the price in far off lands. While the weight of the armor is 25% more.
