I've marked this one as well for integration - what it might still lack, I will try to add myself during the update.

Entry is now prepared... There were some major updates necessary - I found some great additional informationon Leather Armour, which I've integrated now properly. Entry should be pretty complete now - so after 8 years of development we have our first official armour entry up! - Woohoo!  number1 So where's the next one? ;)

*notices entry*

Shouldn't Giant Wolves be Wargs? And why are there tiers anyway. IMHO that sounds too game like.

Ok first off i just joined this site, and posted my newbie parts and im not absolutely positive if im meant to wait for a reply or go ahead and start talking......

From what i gather, leather armour isn't always just leather.  You can add metals to the leather to make it more suitable for different types of combat, such as small metal plates, or studs, maybe even as far as large metal plates, on the places such as the chest, shoulders, shins, thighs, and so on, therefore making it more resistant to an attack from a sword/dagger, and so on.  Of course all armour types have a problem with blunt weapons, because they rely on sheer strength bashing in the armour, because either way your're going to be hammered, so leather or metal wouldn't add any real protection.

Arrows create a larger problem.  Considering arrows can pierce plate mail, then surely they would pierce mere leather armour?.  The only thing I know of that can stop arrows is chain mail, and leather is quite far from that.  So maybe you could think up a design to offer all types of protections and make the new protection trend? 

But after saying all that I do not believe that armour could protect against all the different ways of being injured in battle, unless a magic proficient person got their hands (or mind) dirty.

cheers,
Pyrokar

P.S. on top of all that there might be things posted like this already, and considering I have only jsut joined today, and i'm not some super reader I haven't read enough of the posts yet to familiarise myself with this world, and I may have stepped the boundaries a few times.  If so please tell me, but in a nicer sort of manner.

It's a Caltharian female name - see here.

Art - Queen Shawaldah, wife of Dagolth, from which tribe has she been, can't see this from the name.

Well, no problem with that - every help here is appreciated! :)

Yes, it seemed a bit easier than to restart/finish my big projects

We've got until 200 a.S. so far, so yup, from then on we'd need more. Are you planning to work on the next hundred years or so?

Art - the Golden Age of Kings, after Dagold would be the next to write down, or did I miss something?

rain here over the past two/three weeks have played havoc with our internet connection at home. sneaking in a couple of minutes at work. Not sure when it'll be back on at home. Hopefully within 24 hours.

Oh, and I've now also spotted the piece - among so many other great one's you've gathered there!

Bonus suggestion: Never knew that Phylicia Rashad from the Cosby Show is such a great gospel singer - see here, start at ca. 4:30 - really great voice!
