Armor (plate), legendary
Kheros the Red wore this blood-red suit of plate mail through many of the
years that he fought for the church of Tempus. He was born as the son of
humble farmers near Calaunt. When he was a young man, he set off for the
city to hire himself out as a mercenary. After a number of successful
endeavors, Kheros became a short-term member of many adventuring companies.
Along the way, despite his many victories, Kheros became disgusted and
terrified by the sight of blood.
His fear eventually spiraled out of control, consuming him with madness.
Priests of Tempus found the huge warrior and took him into safe-keeping. The
priests believed that they could cure Kheros of his fear. Over several
years, Kheros learned the ways of the Tempuran religion, eventually becoming
a priest. His final step in overcoming his fear was being submerged in a tub
of blood until he almost drowned. All the time he was held down, he never
struggled, flinched or tried to escape. In his later years, he had a suit of
armor made to remind him of his past.
