Acquired only in the Dwarf Noble Origin, it gives a significant advantage to dwarven warriors or Alistair early in the game when also equipped with the Studded Helmet, and Ser Garlen's Sword for a total of +23 Physical Resistance. This is enough early game physical resistance to be nearly impervious to Shield Bash, or other abilities which rely on breaching physical resistance.
- Acquired from a dwarven corpse after being exiled and thrown into the Deep Roads.
