1st of August, 2019


I finally went through and organised/finished creating all the types of armour last night. There are so many different types of armour that actually exist and yet they're all similar or variations on one another, it was actually way more difficult than I thought it would be. In the end I settled for two/three pieces of real armour for the armour types because that was easier to deal with, and the rest are just unique items. While looking at the wikipedia page for armour though I found a reference to some modern body armour called 'dragon skin'.

Now I don't know about you, but I think Dragon Skin is an awesome name for some armour. There's already a sword called Draconis Ensis which was created for King Draconis, so I figured a second special item called Draconis Pellis wouldn't be too out of place. Just to be clear, King Draconis is long dead at this point in the timeline. The Ensis was a legendary blade made for Draconis I, and the Pellis was a legendary piece of armour made for Draconis II. Both are very dead but the pieces have moved around since then.

While on the topic of legendary items made for the Kings, there's also the Aurum Armatura, created for King Aurum in 1222. Each King that lived for 20 years has their own legendary piece of history named after them, but most are safely stored away in the Regium Palace.

For the final part of this legendary item round-up, there's the one with my favourite name: Aeternum Praesidium. It's a shield made for King Aeternum in 697 that was made specifically to last forever. Given that it still exists in decent shape in 1301, they probably succeeded...
