Chain mail

Chain mail, small metal rings linked together, were invented by the Ingrish Kingdom of Norfrest. Effective against slashing and piercing weapons, chain mail represented the state-of-the-art for those unable to acquire dwarf weapons fron Ulmsmodin. Usually peasants and commonors could not afford it, but most nobles could. Most common in Norfrest, though seen throughout the Ingrish Alliance; the Taznikanze tended to avoid it, however, because metal armor was a death sentence to anyone who fell overboard.
