Mezameru

The Ancestral Armor of the Phoenix Clan is an ancient and powerful nemuranai. It is a suite of plate armor that was created in the fires of Sleeping Thunder Mountain by an ancient Champion of the Dragon Clan and given to the Phoenix Clan.

Ritual
The armor is kept not by the Phoenix Clan Champion or the Shiba family, but by the Council of Five. On the rare occasion that the Phoenix Clan marches to war, the Champion's first duty is to appear before the Council and receive the armor. The armor fits perfectly to the Champion and cannot be removed, except by him.

Powers
The armor is surrounded by s protective sphere of Void. Within ten feet of the armor, no spell can be cast, and the effects of no spell can penetrate, unless the wearer allows. The wearer may choose to allow any spell effect to penetrate, particularly in the case of those spells that would benefit the wearer, but it must be a conscious decision. This also allows the wearer to sense the Void, as if he were a trained Ishiken.
