Armour of Gorhu

Eldar Portal

Ancient armour worn by the renegade Aeldari Gorhu in ancient times before the Fall of the Eldar. While wearing the armour Gorhu could not be slain by any force. The armour itself, however, was cursed and created by a Chaos power. Gorhu himself was incapable of learning even the simplest thing or gaining any wisdom as long as he wore the armour, and in time lost what skills he had and slowly descended into madness – eventually taking flight from his fellows, never to be seen again.^[1]

Craftworld Iyanden rediscovered the armour on the Maiden World of Davinuus in late M41, still bearing its curse.^[1]
