LIGHT HELMET
============

SHORT:  An open-faced crested bascinet
OTHER SHORT NOUNS: helmet

LONG:
This open-faced helmet is relatively lightweight, tapering to a point at the top of the
head. The metal has been lacquered with vibrant red paint and overlaid with twisting vines
of gold and black ornamentation. A short, black-and-gold-ringed aventail extends from the
base of the helm to protect the neck and an ornate crest rises from its center.

COMPONENTS:

AVENTAIL
You see a flexible sheath of chainmail extending from the base of the metal helmet, obviously
meant to cover the neck and shoulders. Though the bulk of the tiny rings woven together to
form the aventail are a deep ebony in colour, a few skillfully placed golden rings create a
beautiful pattern of licking flames along its serrated edge.

CREST
A small, skillfully sculpted burst of metal rises from the center of the helmet, forming an
impressive crest. It has been painted in varying shades of red, gold and black to create the
striking illusion of a fiery phoenix pinion.
