Scale is the ideal armour, ideally in a bright golden colour. Chain in the “jannissary” style, particularly the chain helmets, is also great. Small pieces of plate or breastplates are also good especially if ornate and inlaid. Leather armour is common, either magnificently tooled or used to hold pieces of metal armour in place. | |||

Armour
Scale is the ideal armour, ideally in a bright golden colour. Chain in the “jannissary” style, particularly the chain helmets, is also great. Small pieces of plate or breastplates are also good especially if ornate and inlaid. Leather armour is common, either magnificently tooled or used to hold pieces of metal armour in place.
Armour, whether metal or leather, should have embellished edges and rich decoration, with calligraphy and ornate designs. Shields
Weapons
Heraldry
Bibliography
- Both an online “would you like to know more!” and a guide to the amazing books you can get on amazon.
Nation specific garment
- Possibly – if we can think of something suitable for each nation!
