This \nhelm is marked with several holy symbols and an elaborate crest, making it an\nexcellent ornament to ward off evil.\n\nCrown of the Ages- Worn by many devout fighters.

In addition, it is a rather heavy piece of gear weighing 40kgs though\nfortunately it is magical and so weighs a faction of this when worn.\n\nThe Mask of Disfigurement- A fair alternative to Barrik's helmet for evil and\nneutral vampires.
