    Haven't you guys considered that the Darklight Raiders were once like the Adventurers that we are now? And by that I bet that they have like a grandcompany that made those armors, and they are not exactly the armors of the dead ones in cutters cry but instead remnants of the old stock piles that raiders guild had.

    They were Mercenaries for hire, just like the Company of Heroes. The Darklight Armor was unique to this group hence the Darklight Raiders. In 1.0 we took on the Chimera that killed almost all of the Raiders and subsequently recovered the armor worn by them, course we also ran Aurums Vale for Darklight as well but that was a design standpoint for SE to have 2 dungeons to grind instead of just Cutter's Cry. Armor that Rowena has now is just replicas, after all who wouldn't want to look cool in Darklight (even though there was only 1 Cowl and 1 Corselet in 1.0).

    I arrived at the same assumption. For now, I've held back on making it official wiki material (see above conversation) seeing as SE might be trying to say that this is the original Darklight Raider armor that was just sold to Rowena; after all, Chimera is still in Cutter's Cry and Sibold still sends us out there to put flowers on the graves. I agree, though, that it's likely that we pulled the original armor out in 1572 and Rowena's been mass producing it since, lol.
