This gear used to be worn by the personal horse of the Black Knight during his reign of terror. Pitch-black, it appears to be made not only of some strange black steel, but also of entire plates of black diamond! Naturally, such a weight of metal and stone cannot be good for the mount's speed. However, it offers not only mundane protection against blows; the adamant bears an enchantment that makes its wearer partially undead.

Desirability

It's your choice whether the Black Knight's horse barding's excellent AC, reduced hunger, and rank of life protection are worth losing a bit of your centaur's speed advantage, but they probably are; you'll still be faster than most opponents, though kiting may be a bit more difficult. That being said, this armour is considered evil and will offend the good gods if you wear it.

History

The Black Knight's horse barding was added in 0.10.
