Description:
Named for its original owner, Sir Tain the Noble, this helm saw many great battles in his
possession. It was eventually passed on to Sir Tain's squire, who had served him

skill to uphold his master's legacy. It is rumored he lost his life in the pursuit of a
worthy, but ultimately futile cause, and the helm has had many owners since.

Helm of Defense: 'Gift of Peace'
Description:
Prized for its noble origin as much as for its benefits to the wearer, this helm was
originally intended to be a simple gift. There was no great crisis at hand, nor dangerous
evil to be overthrown; just a wish for a friend to give a gift to another. It could just
have easily been a good book or bottle of wine, but adventurers are eminently more
practical in their gift giving. The helm has seen many great battles since its creation,
but the simple virtue at its core is what has always been remembered.
