Scrivener's Guard

This is a placeholder page for content that PD are actively working on.

Description

This light mail shirt, usually composed of mithril or made in the form of steel ringmail, is favoured by Winterfolk and Freeborn senators,diplomats, negotiators and merchants who go to dangerous places in the pursuit of their duties. It is also popular with bannermen and scops.

In the Brass Coast it is sometimes crafted from leather and dubbed Scrivener's Scale. The Freeborn Emperor Ahraz is known to have worn a suit of scrivener's scale during most of his career, including his negotiations with the rebellious orc slaves. When queried about why he did not don a more powerful suit of armour he is said to have replied:

I am a diplomat, not a warrior. My armour is more to stop me being a burden on my bodyguards than to aid me in battle. If a fight breaks out, I will do my best but I am no soldier and no amount of armour will make me one. Better I save my money and spend it somewhere it will do good - on weapons and armour for those to whom I entrust my life.
