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 grey 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 never requires oiling, and is extremely resistant to most forms of attacks (natural, magical, and breath weapons). The suit counts as full plate +4, and improves all the wearer's basic stats by +2 while wearing the armor. Also, when worn by a Paladin or Cleric, the holy symbol of the wearer's god appears on the front of the breast plate and on the shoulder plates.
