Mark of Rhalgr

[Cake_lord]

Just so you know, the lore is that that is the mark of Gerolt, who crafted/created the Soldiery gear. Just like the Poetics gear was made by the Garlemond Ironworks, and so bears its mark.

It is Gerolt's masterworks, but the mark is Rhalgr the Destroyer's

Rowena, the maven of munitions at Revenant's Toll, espouses that proof of an item's authenticity can be found in Gerolt's signature─the mark of Rhalgr, breaker of worlds─and indeed, the master's fervor for the god of destruction in his early years is widely known."
