Lord Morgeuse was a man man of great ambition, long had he dreamed of the subjugation of all around him as a stepping stone to the prize of seizing the throne of Arthuria, even though time and battle had robbed him of the power to take what he wanted directly, and so he schemed of another way, a tryst with a powerful witch gave him a son he could mold into a future monarch to rule through.
Even though Mordred had been raised to be the perfect weapon to take throne doubt always lingered, if something should happen to shake his hold on his son then all of the scheming would have been for nothing, to insure his control a special gift was created, the perfect gift to a newly crowned king and a relic to be passed down to his children, Lord Morgeuse covertly commissioned the finest smiths and enchanters across the continent to craft a suit of armor to be his insurance plan. Hidden within the intricately wrought plates and powerful enchantments was a powerful geass to subtly mold the wearer into the perfect puppet, after all the best puppets have invisible strings.
After the work was done a flaw was discovered with the enchantments woven about the armor, the wearer was barred from magical aid, perhaps the existence and purpose had offended some deity or some force was being siphoned to power the armor, when the enchanter worried about the Lord Morgeuse was overheard to respond with a chilling answer. " Leave it be, a martyred king is just as useful as a living one, the quicker the better."

CURSE
While the armour is attuned the wearer is prevented from recovering health by any magical means.
While the armour is worn the character doing so is considered to be under the effect of the suggestion spell, this effect ignores any resistance the target may have and ignores the resistance the armour gives. When passed from one owner to a new owner the previous owner is considered the caster of the spell, in addition if handed over as a gift the spell cannot be dispelled or suspended as long as the armour is worn.
Plate consists of shaped, interlocking metal plates to cover the entire body. A suit of plate includes gauntlets, heavy leather boots, a visored helmet, and thick layers of padding underneath the armor. Buckles and straps distribute the weight over the body.
