The Guard of the North is a Level 13 armor set found in Pikemead’s Reach.
It’s not crafted.
It’s hunted.

Important Note About This Set
Every piece reduces Maximum Time in the Shroud.
This is not beginner gear.
It’s offensive-leaning gear with solid resistances but a trade-off mechanic.
You hit harder.
You survive well.
But your Shroud timer shrinks.
So plan accordingly.
