Something of a departure for Olga from her normally much more revealing (and appealing) attire, the suit of Cleric armor seen here was designed to be more functional than attractive. That doesn't make it any less of an impressive and lovely piece of work, but it does mean that the bared flesh here and there is more a matter of mobility than allure.
The armor itself is a a blend of a Mithril/Elven Silver alloy and Dwarven Forge Gold, a much heartier and stronger version of gold than what one would use in jewelry. The larger armored components are linked, for the most part, with sturdy stag leather, though there are the red scale armor pieces. These scales are actually castoff scales from Fire Wyrms, native to the volcanic rifts near the Dwarven Mountain Homes. Extremely tough yet flexible, they make good armor in and of themselves, but when layered with supple leather and durable Dwarf-crafted armor, they're exceptional. Gaps in the armor have been left open for mobility, though one could still easily wear simple fabric beneath, or even light leather to add additional armor. The enchantments on the armor are simple, but effective: A low-level spell-turning enchantment, to repel hostile magical attacks and redirect them either away from the user or back to the source, and a lightening enchantment to make the armor less of a burden for the wearer.
The helmet, fur-lined plate with natural stag antler adornments, is made of the same materials and bears the same enchantments. The fur used for the decorative crest is harvested Centaur tail hair, taken from associates of Olga's.
The hammer, which Olga has dubbed Yggdrasil's Branch, is likewise crafted of the same overall materials, though the "rings" and handle are actually enchanted plant fibers that have grown from the hammerhead itself and been patiently grown, shaped and hardened over the course of months. The seed of the strange plant, an enchanted Elven breed of vine, was actually forged into the hammer's heart at the same time as two powerful crystals of healing were set into the hammerhead. Visible on the sides of the hammer are glowing crystal emblems, framed in gold, that allow the wielder to focus healing magic directly through the hammer. This technically makes it a heavy weapon variant of a mage's staff or wand, what the Dwarves refer to as a "Great-Wand" in the case of their own runic magics. The healing magic is bolstered by a form of runic enchantment that lets it flow through the haft to a sphere of hardened, enchanted sap known as a Forest Heart, which can be planted in the ground to summon on additional elemental and plant-based magics as needed.
The hammer, though powerful as a spell casting tool, is still a mighty weapon of great power in and of itself. Olga's habit of placing enchantments on heavier gear to make them lighter for the wielder continues with the hammer, and with the shield as well. The shield uses a blend of Fire Wyrm scale an sinew to bolster the backing, as well as having its own runic gems set into it. The front face of the shield bears the image of a horned Forest God's skull, with gems set into the eyes that allow the wielder to channel healing energy in a cone-shaped area in front of the caster as needed. It can be planted in the ground as a bulwark against incoming attacks, and in doing so the gem at the bottom of the shield can help to healing, empower and protect the wielder's allies, much as the hammer can be used to summon up elemental might.
The crystalline window at the top of the shield provides two distinct advantages for the user: One is that it is enchanted to protect the wielder's sight from blinding magics, and the other is that it allows the cleric using it to see clearly without dropping their guard. It is enchanted to show the presence of dark magics, as well as to mark those in need of healing with an aura visible through the glass. When used in tandem with the hammer, the shield can also be used to project healing and elemental magics capable of repelling or destroying lesser Undead with relative ease.
This armor is one of Olga's most expensive pieces, and were she to reproduce it she would have to heavily modify and adjust it to suit the size and build of the user. Unlike many of her other outfits, this one is very much not one-size fits all. She is more than happy to work with her customers, of course, and should she meet a Dwarven cleric or battle healer looking for a sturdy set of adventuring gear, she'd be happy to negotiate a fair price for her labors.
