Stygian Mercenary Sandals

Description
When the armies of Stygia march, it is an impressive sight. In the vanguard, bow-wielding nobles riding bronze-worked chariots drawn by black horses and behind them, the glittering columns of mail-clad warriors.

The Stygian pike men are sometimes called 'hoppers' by their enemies. Their insistence in wearing open soled sandals into battle means that in the clash of shield walls, enemies will often target their feet.

Stygian officers, however, consider this a boon as an enemy focused on looking down is less likely to see the pike that pierces their helmet.

This armor is worn by the mercenaries who serve Kraxus the Bastard. The darker colors are a nod to his impure bloodline - he has been heard to joke that the armor is tainted like his parentage.
