A suit of armour created from the enchanted scales of a once-mighty king of dragons. In his time, titans and lesser dragons struggled with him in vain — but as with all things, even he was eventually cast down and undone. Of his life and deeds, this is all that remains.

Desirability

The scales of the Dragon King[1] are +9 gold dragon scales with an extra helping of willpower. Any character that doesn't care much about encumbrance will greatly appreciate this armour. While you can get better AC by enchanting a mundane set of GDS, using this artefact saves scrolls of enchant armour for other purposes. The willpower helps, too.
