Faction Themed Valor Plate Heirloom Sets for Level 19

Zazzy on Zazzy's Mogs had a dilemma:  Heirloom plate gear, which becomes mail armor when at lower levels is practically immune to the transmogrification feature before level 40.  She isn't alone, as there are a number of players who want to look good while leveling or creating a low level twink.  In honor of her Sad Panda, I have endeavored to create a set that fits her Alliance theme, and coincidentally give my little Horde paladin something good to wear as I work my way towards the Dark Portal.

I designed these sets to fit a level 19 twink.  There were many more options with each level you add, however I wanted to draw a line somewhere that gives a player a chance to wear the set with pride for a little longer.  I hope you enjoy these sets as much as I enjoyed created them! :p

The Alliance set features a shield available to both factions, but fits the Alliance theme quite nicely.  An Undead character could take advantage of the role-playing aspect, even at low levels, as perhaps a former human soldier.  The sword is from an Alliance only quest, and thought it would be nice to put something that is truly Alliance only into the set. :p

The Horde set features a darker look, which incorporates some of the darker earthy tones of the Valor plate rib area and around the thighs.  And since I plan to have this set on my Blood Elf Paladin, perhaps a racially themed shield would be fitting.  The weapon was an interesting Horde-only one handed axe, which just felt unique and oddly appropriate.  I am a huge fan of faction themed sets, and this is no exception. :p
