Dreadplate of the Eternal Marshal

This suit of heavy plate is forged from a stygian, matte-black metal that seems to swallow the light. The breastplate is embossed with the skeletal ribcage of a dragon, and the pauldrons are shaped like screaming faces trapped in obsidian. Faint, wispy trails of purple soul-smoke leak from the joints, and the metal is always cold to the touch, even in direct sunlight.
