Helm of the Horsemaster

Though forged in a time shortly before the Aegis was constructed, and though it has seen countless battles, this legendary helm remains flawlessly intact, holding neither dent nor mark upon its perfectly polished surface. It is a helm set in the colour of reflective obsidian, constructed in colourful enamelled panels of blue, gold and black.

Open faced in design, the Helm never the less features a silver comb that extends down over ridge of the nose in a keel shaped manner, while ornate etchings richly decorate the surface of the helm alongside a regal beaten relief.

Interwoven sun and horse head motifs add the final touches of majesty as they caress the cheek pieces and brow of the Helm, shining of gold and silver, yet it is the bronze crest that holds the great symbolism of all: flowing from the rear of the Helm to stand over the rim of the brow, an elegant and highly detailed horse head crest stands proud, its mane painstakingly detailed, its polished gleam descried from a great distance, declaring to all that the wearer is the revered Horsemaster of Fastheld.

''The origin and the legacy of the Helm of the Horsemaster has been lost with the passage of time. Though its more recent history is well known and documented, there is little of substantial worth within those tales befitting of the helm as an individual artifact.''
