Background
The Rites of Prime Banishment were used to banish Tharizdun and end the war of the Calamity. During these rites, it took Pelor's full might to beat down Tharizdun, attach four Prime Trammels, and finally complete the ritual. Tharizdun was, however, successfully banished.

Vox Machina meet Pelor to discuss how to seal away Vecna for good.

The plate was originally worn by the High Priest of Pelor, Duana, as she fell in the battle of Ghor Dranas. It is a set of brass armor, and when worn its beautiful silver inlays and cut rubies glow. The wearer is immune to fire damage, and when knocked unconscious it releases a blast of healing flame and the wearer regains 1 hit point.
