Mark I · Mark V · Mark XI
These are design sheets, not extra Champions. Mark I is containment. Mark V is the first ignition. Mark XI is Twin Mantle — the emerald-violet First Suit and its color-ways. LEGACY / REVIEW. Not cards 001–020. Not Encounters E01–E08.

| Mark | Sheet | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Mark I | Cage — proto powered armor | Burn-coal core. No wings. Dark iron scale-lamellar, crude brass, incomplete pauldron. Built for containment. |
| Mark I | Cage — proto reliquary frame | Coal-feather brand in a reliquary cradle. Ritual function. Shoulder assemblies unfinished. No wing deployment. |
| Mark I | Cage — heavy containment | Thicker. Denser. Jewel-scale in crude gold channels. Built to hold, not to move. No flight. No agility. |
| Mark V | First Feather — proto-to-true | First fully ignited golden feather reactor. Stub mantle-wings, chapel-door fold. This is not the final armor. |
| Mark XI | Twin Mantle — split-wing assault | Stained-glass jewel-scales, solar-aurum chest. Independent vanes. Magical reliquary-frame. Not a comic-book exosuit. |
| Mark XI | Twin Mantle — color-ways | Nine foundry color-ways of one suit. Paint language, not nine Champions. Emerald-violet remains the First Suit. |

Material notes, as lettered on the sheets: soot-black iron, burnt bronze, coal-feather brand, stained-glass jewel-scales in gold channels, solar-aurum chest. Hip gimbals on Mark I are primitive. Mark V visor filters emberlight and truth. Mark XI vanes answer aetheric will, not servos.
This is not the final armor. This is the first truth.
