: We don't know much about Balor's armor--given that
: Soulblighter was virtually invulnerable and tireless
: without wearing any armor at all, it's quite possible
: that Balor's armor was perfectly ordinary and that all
: his toughness came from his own magics. On the other
: hand, it might be that the reason The Deceiver's army
: captured Alric was that they had gone to look for that
: same armor, and had already found it and sent it off
: to Balor. Maybe he would have been completely
: invulnerable if he hadn't raised the helmet a bit to
: give his neck some air. All GURPS says of Balor's
: armor is that he was "clad in plate," so
: we're free to theorize as we wish.
: Are you curious as to why the armor was buried in the
: Eastern desert to begin with? That would mean that it
: belonged to someone in the Cath Bruig empire. Perhaps
: Damas found it and hid it there?
What you have said it true, although I also like Forrest's suggestions.
Perhaps it is possible to SOMEHOW retrieve this suit of armor which just MIGHT be in the desert. But if this is the case then I should have thought the clever hex-editors who have many times dissected TFL would have found a reference to it.
