A practical yet distinctive helm of softened bone, given shape by shalk resin. Its thick cloth hood repels the ash that continually rains from the island's heart. To many in Vvardenfell, this is the true face of House Redoran.
"A Telvanni speaks through magicka, mysticism, and things illusory. A Hlaalu speaks through commerce, politics, and things deceitful. A Redoran must speak through honor and duty, for these are our enduring foundations."

Gah-Julan Cuirass
Item Type
Cuirass - Medium Armor
Not Enchanted
Description
Plates of bone from various species, sealed with resin to maximize collective strength. Their jagged layers evoke Red Mountain's treacherous peaks. This cuirass forgoes the Daedric runes adorning the armor of rival Great Houses, instead embodying a severe minimalism.
"To rely on symbols is to shackle oneself to the unreal. Character must stem from one's honorable actions, both in victory and in defeat."

Gah-Julan Gauntlets
Item Type
Gauntlets - Medium Armor
Not Enchanted
Description
Flexible netch-leather gloves guarded by an exoskeleton of layered bone. They are resilient enough to turn a blade, yet nimble enough to string a bow. The scarred shell suggests either a lifetime of battle, or a singular ferocity in the creatures from which they are derived.
"One's hands must be employed in the duties of war and scripture. The first, for survival. The second, for immortality."

Gah-Julan Boots
Item Type
Boots - Medium Armor
Not Enchanted
Description
Robust boots of molded bone and blight-moth wool. Though irritating, they insulate the wearer from the heat of Red Mountain and the jaws of nix-hounds. Redoran children are taught that in their ashen homeland, a crippled extremity is as sure a death sentence as a torn jugular.
"One must follow the Fifth Walking Way. To march in the shadow of Lord Vivec, one requires a disciplined mind, a pious heart, and an unshakeable stride."

Gah-Julan Pauldrons
Item Type
Pauldron - Medium Armor
Not Enchanted
Description
These pauldrons seal the cuirass from Vvardenfell's noxious air like a cocoon. As construction on the Ghostfence began to strain resources, the island's Dunmer abandoned their tradition of integrating ancestors' corpses into new armor. Nevertheless, some of these bones are unnervingly humanoid.
"To shoulder the weight of their ancestors, one must embrace the belief that true immortality belongs not to an individual, but to a people."

"The first bonemold was forged from corpses in a besieged stronghold, and has since been of great benefit to us. In times of strife, one must be prepared to offer all they are to strengthen their people."

Item Type
Tower Shield - Medium Armor
