<br />Artifact 3:
<br />'''Phoenix Rising''' (3-dot Red Jade Artifact Medium Armor)
<br />This Red Jade reinforced breastplate has belonged to the House of Tepet for centuries. It was nearly destroyed in the campaign to the North that laid that House low, and was only recently reforged. The symbol of a Garda bird (gules, rising, displayed) was engraved upon it, to represent that it had died in fire but been reborn - and to symbolize the hopes of House Tepet for their resurgence. The armor has two slots for Hearthstones, one in the center of the chest and one in the back.

When attuned and worn, Phoenix Rising grants unparalleled protection against fire. The wearer reduces the Difficulty of enduring environmental hazards due to heat or flame by 2 and adds 2 to Soak and Hardness versus fire and energy-based attacks.

For three extra motes of attunement, its wearer is inspired to rise higher through adversity. The wearer gains 1 point of Initiative whenever they or someone they have a Positive Major or Defining Intimacy towards is targeted with a decisive attack.
