Still polished to a mirror sheen, this set of golden scale armor was one of the last great works of Rus Stanclef. A well-respected smith, Stanclef was inspired by a local fable revolving around a golden dragon, and modeled this set of armor after the beast in question.

He imbued the Golden Scales with protective enchantments against flame, as well as the same reflective properties which protected its namesake against ranged opponents. The result was an eye-catching and effective piece of armor, and it proved especially popular amongst those intent on being the center of attention.
