It is a huge, heavy, and magical breastplate consisting of golden-red, shining metal. The Heartflame Breastplate seems to blaze as if a flickering fire is right in front of the armor.<ref name=":4.44 M">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/09/4-44-m/ Chapter 4.44 M]</ref>

When the enchantment is activated, the Heartflame Breastplate will be ablaze in flickering, flames that lick across the armor, burning without smoke, producing heat without sound, and motion without fuel. The magical flames can shift in color that range from ghostly pale red and orange, to slightly purple with a white core, or blue.<ref name=":5.18 S">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/09/04/5-18-s/ Chapter 5.18 S]</ref>

== Background ==
The Heartflame Breastplate was one of the Drakes' national treasures.<ref name=":4.44 M" /> It was last seen in the possession of General Ironscales of [[Oteslia]]. The armor and General Ironscales were lost in a conflict with the [[Reinhart family|Reinhart]] and [[El Family|El family]] over a dispute regarding trade from [[Chandrar]] that resulted in a clash north of [[Liscor]] (a rare exception to the traditional conflicts on the [[Blood Fields]]). The plate was lost when her command was routed and she disappeared in the chaos.<ref name=":5.17 S">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/09/01/5-17-s/ Chapter 5.17 S]</ref> 

It was thought to be lost after General Ironscales was slaughtered and her corpse disappeared two centuries ago, but in truth it was acquired by [[Regis Reinhart]] and kept in the Reinhart vaults for two hundred years.<ref name=":4.44 M" />

== Chronology ==
The armor was given to Zel Shivertail by Magnolia Reinhart for his support in a battle against the Goblin Lord. Upon Zel's death, the armor was kept with him and his will stated that Selys would be the one to inherit it.<ref name=":0" />

== Enchantments ==
'''Durability:''' Legends say that it could stop an enchanted lance thrust to the heart without a problem<ref name=":4.44 M" /> and that its keen defensive properties are considered unbreakable whether by magic or physical force.

'''Flames Enchantment:''' It has a ‘protection of flames’ enchantment that is activated and deactivated by the user when they hiss while being in contact with it. The sound of the Hissing can also be subvocalized so that no one can hear it but the user.

Once the enchantment is activated, the breastplate and the user are surrounded by a barrier of magical flames that could turn aside arrow and spell alike. The flames covers the armor, the user's hands, tail, and face. The burning flames around the user don’t touch their body, and as such they don’t feel the temperature. While the user has their face covered in flames, they could still see straight through the flames. It was only when they looked at their body that they saw the flames.<ref name=":5.18 S" /><ref name=":5.17 S" />

'''Size Adjustment:''' The breastplate can also shift to perfectly fit the user form.<ref name=":5.18 S" />
