HEARTVEIL
THE HELM OF WAR
Embedded Files
Forged in the furnace of Hephaestus, Heartveil is the helm of Ares. When the Olympians were each granted a portion of Orichalcum and Adamantine to shape into symbols of their power, Ares chose to commission a tool for a simple issue. Though mighty in stature, Ares was a man of great gentleness and silent feeling, and it pained him that others mistook his silence for fury, his gaze for disdain. So he entrusted Fisk with a single request: “Show them what I feel when I cannot.”
Atop the helm, Fisk inlaid rare Kardiá crystals, artifacts once used by wandering witchdoctors to see through illness and deceit. Through a narrow channel at the crown, these crystals release a luminous lophon, a great mane of living light that shifts and dances with the warrior’s emotions. This however had little to diswayed the fears of his team mates for when they saw the crimson light they, as anyone else assumed that was the colour of rage when it was infact the colour of love.
Quote from the Lament of the Last War, journals of rebellion by Callima C.
“I have seen sun shrouded by summoned storms and felt the ground neath my boots shake with commanded quakes and I have seen Gods among men weep for their own. I call to witness the plumage of War. It would contend how it blazed sanguine at dawn as if it were the sun rising from the horizon.
But when the Mother of Harvest fell. When a spear of the father struck Demeter through her back and burst forth from her bosom The scarlet dimmed, the red drained and from Heartveil’s mane came a blue so vast and fathomless, it devoured the sky. It was the color of ocean-deep mourning, of a God’s heart split wide.“
