Studded Leather Armor: Made of soft leather, instead of of hardened, like the leather boots are made of. Small steel rivets are planted into it. Though this armor is alittle better then the hardened leather it provides just alittle more protection. It can turn aside larger blades though the impact from them will still be felt.
Brigandine: This armor is a suade vest with metal plates covering it. This armor is considered the best out of all the leather armor but it's the heaviest. The plates will turn aside most blades though cannot stop arrows and is usless against weapons such as maces.[No picture available]
Chainmail/Ringmail: Chainmail armor is made of small, interlocking, metal links. Usually made into a vest or shirt. This armor is considered the lightest of the heavier armors and good for stopping bladded weapons. Padding is usually worn under it to help lessen the impact of blows. This armor though is ineffective against weapons such as maces, hammers, staffs and clubs. Ringmail is the same as this, though it's rings are larger and more stout.
Splint or Banded mail: Made of small strips of metal that over lap each other this armor is hard to move in though provides good protection. A lighter cousin to the platemail it can survive many blows though it tends to be hard to move in, such as turning at one's waist and moveing the arms in any direction then up and down.
Scale mail: Scail mail is made of small metal scales implanted into suade or held togeather like chainmail. A ver effective armor that is worn world wide. It provides good protection with little restrain on mobility though the scales tend to break easily in the heat of battle, weaking after a few good blows.
Half plate: Halfplate is comprised of two things, armor plates and chainmail. The torso plate covers the chest and rib area for the front, the back the entire back, stopping alittle bit above the waist, the stomach is covered by chainmail. The shoulders are covered by plates while the bicep is also protected by chainmail. The hands are covered by platemail gauntlets, along with the forearms. The tops of the thighs and the backs of them are protected by two plates fitted to their shape. The calfs and feet are covered by platemail boots. This armor provides good protection and is light. This armor is good if one wishes for light weight but good protection with out sacrificing much movement, though many weak points are open for attack.[No picture available]
Platemail: Platemail is compromised of interlocking plates of metal. Covering over the body and held in place by leather and chain. The thick plates are specially shaped to deflect blows and ranged weapons. This is thought to be the best armor a warrior could by, the rich embrossing etched into it. The armor though is heavy but easily moved in if the joints are kept well.
Fieldplate: Field plate is the heavier version of platemail. Same in basic make and design though the plates are thicker and heavier. Instead of wearing padded clothing under this armor it comes with padded leather placed with in the interior of the torso, shoulder and greaves. making it much heavier but giving better protection.
Fullplate: this is not normally worn into battle on foot. The armor too heavy to move and run in. This is worn on raptor back by mounted knights. This armor is also similar to field plate though the armor is yet made thicker and has more padding placed with in it. It gives the best protection though no one would be able to wear it on foot effectively.
Helms: Helms come in many different shapes and sizes. Mostly though it's the same old open faced metal helms. They come in leather, metal and chainmail. Coifs, Open faced helms, T gapped helms, Caps, closed helms and visored helms are an example of these. The armor comes with it's own helmet though it can be changed at the wishes of the customer to better fit their needs.
