Plate Armor of the Gods

This powerful suit of full plate is believed to be among the last works of Hadynus, the master dwarven smith. The armor is made of an unknown dark metal with a slight violet tinting, and trimmed with polished gold. It's lusterious sheen and precise lines give it an elegant appearance, while its light weight and superb balance allow the wearer to move virtually unencumbered.

Due to a combination of the unusual metal and the enchantments on it, this suit is not only unusually light, it is extremely resistant to all forms of damage. The suit also empowers the wearer, granting item bonuses to several abilities while wearing the armor. When worn by Divine spellcaster who follows a specific deity, that deity's holy symbol appears on the front of the breast plate and on the shoulder plates.
