View source for Koenig Cuirass Set

[[File:Koenig.png|thumb|The Koenig Set]]

A heavy set of strong metallic armor, this set adds massive bonuses to HP, Defense, Vitality, and Charisma (to enhance [[Killer Effects]]). Any heavy tank should be proud to have this set.<br>
Like every abjuration set, this armor has a downside. In this case, the Koenig set has massive penalties to STR and DEX, crippling attack for the sake of defense.
Also see the HQ version, [[Kaiser Cuirass Set]].

==Historical Background==
===Cuirass===
A cuirass (from the Latin ''coriaceus'', meaning made of leather, and further from the Latin word ''corium'' which was a leather breastplate), is the plate armor formed of a single piece of metal or other rigid material or composed of two or more pieces, which covers the front of the wearer's person. In a suit of armor, however, since this important piece was generally worn in connection with a corresponding defence for the back, the term cuirass commonly is understood to imply the complete body-armor, including both the breast and the back plates. Thus this complete body armor appears in the Middle Ages frequently to have been described as a pair of plates. A related item, the [[Corselet]], is a comparatively light cuirass.

===Koenig===
König is the German language word for king. Family names derived from König are also spelled without the umlaut ö as Koenig or without correct transliteration of the umlaut just as Konig. The high quality version of this set is called [[Kaiser Cuirass Set]], with Kaiser being German for emperor.
