So I was on a thread about dragons and the subject of armors useful came up. I knew that the dwarves of Belegost were quite well with fire-protection armor based on how they fought off a dragon to save their lord.

My suggestion is that to add more diversity to the faction, there could possibly be a variant of Blue Dwarven armor that gave fire-resistance. This resistance could possibly work like the warhammers. The warhammers have natural knockback and they aren't enchanted looking, so how hard would it be for Mevans to maybe apply this same code for these armors? I personally find the wood-elf scout armor particles very annoying (how hard is it to stalk someone and stay hidden when particles are everywhere?) but this is more acceptable since it is a potion effect. The dwarven armor could utilize enchants like fire-protection so that it could be just coded into the armor itself instead of applying the buff when the full suit is equipped.

New blue dwarven armors would balance out the two dwarven factions as well. Now, the dwarves have trimmed armors and the blue dwarves still have no variety. I've heard a lot of people ask for different trimmed armors for other factions. I agree with part of this, but I think that it would be better to add functional armors instead of aesthetic ones. I love the new trimmed armors, but I think that it would be nice to have more than 3 functioning armors (morgul, wood-elf scout, and galvorn).

I play as a blue dwarf of Belegost on the official and I've noticed that even though it is the closest dwarven civilization to spawn, not very many players have heard of it or care to visit it. With the addition of this new armor, it would drive people to visit these new locations just like players who go to Lindon and Lorien to mine quendite.

As for the crafting of these new armors, I would say that it would need to involve some other sort of gem or recipe. Perhaps a combination of blue dwarf steel and dwarf steel in the shape of the rohirric armor?

This is one of my first suggestions so if I did a few things wrong I'm terribly sorry
