Obsidian Chest

The KotHaar do not die as we do. There is no afterlife for them, just silence. They are reduced to fragments of obsidian, crushed down and down with the weight of their souls. Once returned to the Elder Kiln the KotHaar will live again, it just may take some time. Fortunately, time is irrelevant to the KotHaar and they are content to simply wait out the aeons until their time comes again. So, in a way, you do them a favour by wearing this obsidian armour, as it gives them a chance to see the world as they wait.

There is a common misconception that the KotHaar are a hive mind. Certainly many of them work as if they are one, but they are bound by a shared purpose, not a shared consciousness. This is a distinction that other races struggle with regularly, but it is easily understood when, as inevitably happens once in a while, one of the KotHaar turns away from their intended purpose and dares to wonder what else could be.
