Black Cloths

The Black Cloths are copies of Athena's Saints real Cloths, forged in the Death Queen Island by a renegade order of Saints called the Black Saints without permission of the Sanctuary. The Black Cloths appear to be identical copies of the real Cloths, save for minor cosmetic changes, and, as its name implies, their color is entirely black.

The Black Saints forged copies of both Bronze and Silver Cloths, and some of them have multiple copies, like the Black Phoenix Cloth.

The Black Cloths are significantly weaker than the legitimate Cloths, and throughout the series, they have been easily destroyed. This may be because the renegade forgers lacked the materials and the knowledge of the Lemurian masters who forged Athena's Cloths.
