The dyed leather of this armor is supple and intricately tooled, with numerous pouches and knives strapped to it to ensure the wearer always has access to the tools needed to ply an assassin's trade. Most notable, however, is that you got this armor from Ygwulf, the man that killed you as welcome to the city of Paradis. Blood for blood.

Acquisition

  • Paradis Hightown: Looted from the corpse of Ygwulf during the main quest An Untimely End, if you choose to attack and kill the rebels rather than sparing them.
