Description
Dracograth armour is not simply ornate and beautiful, as well as somewhat imposing; is it also even more advanced than ordinary Kalshodar armour.

Like all suits of Reflex Armour, it is designed to be removed and put on without direct assistance, giving its wearer the ability to be autonomous in the field as long as they have a Kalshodar ship nearby. All Kalshodar craft, from Cruisers to Gryphon landing ships, have an Arming Booth or few. An Arming Booth is designed to maintain, charge, repair, and "open up" all current marks of Reflex Armour. Once the user wishes to leave his or her suit, the Arming Booth will initiate programs designed to release all parts of the armour held together my mithril and electromagnetic force. Upon connection, the Booth will remove the suit's backpack and drain mithril still present on the suit before sending a specific electromagetic signal to cause the articulation points to repel one another in a specific sequence. The result of this has been described as 'looking like a shelled lobster' by Korax; the Reflex Armour will unfold and open up, allowing the Kalshodar or Dracograth to simply step out of the suit, clad only in thier bodyglove.

With Dracograth armour, part of this proces is to 'retract' their dragon-faced helmet as shown below; the 'lower jaw' drops towards the chest, and the 'upper jaw' and head are raised and swing back and down leaving only the 'under helmet' visible. Of course, no Dracograth will do this while on duty as part of the mystique and function of Alexander's palace and personal guards is that they all look the same when their armour is on, just another pair of dispassionate eyes staring from between a dragon's golden teeth. The Dracograth themseves are quite adept at telling one another apart, it is said, quite how is one of their many misteries. Shamshir claims that they have memorised one another's eyebrows.

On the balance of it, it is perhaps no less imposing to look a Dracograth in the face than their eyes between the teeth of their helmet....
