The Armour of Beauty

Originally forged by Standarr of Monitor, the Armour of Beauty is not only good to look at but also gives its wearer good protective value.

Description[edit]

This is one of several items exchanged into the Avatar's inventory by a teleport storm upon the hero's arrival on the Serpent Isle, at the start of Ultima VII Part Two. In the case of this white breastplate, it replaced the Avatar's magic armour. Sometime after the exchange, the Avatar arrived in Fawn and discovered that Kylista, Priestess of Beauty, was the original owner of the Armour, meaning she was now in possession of the hero's magic armour. Kylista, taking the return of the Armour of Beauty to Fawn as a sign from the heavens, gladly exchanged the Avatar's magic armour for the breastplate.

Protective Value[edit]

Not merely a symbolic piece of armour, the Armour of Beauty has a defensive rating of "4," making it equal in protection to plate armour. However, its weight is just 2 stones against 10 stones for the plate armour.[1]

Trivia[edit]

  • The Avatar's magic armour can be retrieved without Kylista's permission, allowing the group to keep the breastplate.
  • Should the Avatar show the Armour of Beauty to Bucia, she will exclaim that it is "made for a woman,"[2] although it is not clear how she determines the gender for which it is designed, given that both male and female party members may don it.
