Armor Types
Armor in the Realm, like weaponry, is influenced by East Asian and Roman cultures.
Helmets neither help nor hinder.
Light Armor
Light armor provides protection for vital areas, but is primarily meant to be light and mobile. Light armor is favored by scouts, leaders, and other people who need protection but don’t want to be encumbered.
Medium Armor
Medium armor is the standard armor of Creation. Most soldiers wear medium armor. This category provides ample protection for your vital areas and is generally reserved for mercenaries, soldiers, and others who make a profession of violence.
Heavy Armor
Heavy armor is the best of the best when it comes to armor – and the most expensive and difficult to maintain. Heavy armor is reserved for elite units like heavy auxiliaries or frontline Chosen who expect to be fighting multiple people at once.
