Armor of Fullchesthood

The Armor of Fullchesthood is possibly the only suit of armor created entirely for cosmetic reasons, enlarging the chest size of the wearer by up to 80%. Made by Blacksmith Smithy Blackfinger of Skyfinger out of mitherilium for Lord Hopebane to give to an already-buxom female lieutenant to distract his enemies while the Lord prepared to poison them, the armor was captured and worn by Lady Ambivilia. It is believed that the eye-popping effect caused Lord Hopebane to walk directly into a pillar during their climactic battle, knocking Hopebane's Bane off the wall and killing him instantly.

The armor has been used since by harlots looking to increase business, pranksters using it as a gag gift to their macho friends, and the occasional heroine inflating herself for the cover of a ELoTH novel. Historians suggest the design came from the infamous armor of the warrioress Zah'Nee. Although her set was entirely inert and unmagical, the effect was strangely similar. It is now in the possession of the Leather Queens of Heelspike Tower, who star in the not-for-minors Erotic Lovers Of The Hierarchs: The Enticement Saga.

The Armor of Fullchesthood is often seen as a female counterpart to the male White Shirt of Muscular Appearance, and it is believed that when the two are brought to the same location, a romance novel cover will invariably be created.
