#the most restricting part of armor is the shoulderguards

Another small headcanon:

Igris'Ir has a particularly tough skin, akin to stone in toughness. It is especially strong on, and around, the places he has his markings though, namely his face, shoulders, chest and back. This is the reason he does not need a helmet or shoulderguards, and even a breastplate isnt necessary, although the added protection on the vitals is something he still appreciates on serious battles.
