Racial Motifs 32 : Abah ' s Watch Content . At - Addin Syndicate Memo : Outfitting the Abah ' s Landing Watch I just sold that Iron Wheel outfit a load of first - quality arms and armor – good enough that our own Abah ' s Landing guards are going to look shabby in comparison , and that ' s not going to do . We need to show a united front to the Wheel , with a standardized look to our guards . Based on what we ' ve got in the warehouses , let ' s equip them as indicated below . – Merchant Lord Orahan at - Addin AXES We have a number of those axes with the double - crescent blades down in the water - level warehouse . They ' re very similar to what I sold the Iron Wheel ; let ' s equip our own axe - wielders with those arms . BELTS That shipment of heavy wool sashes we got from Rihad will do fine as belts : just put a round metal boss on front to cinch it through , and hang metal tassets at the hips for the more heavily - armored guards . BOOTS The basic goat - leather boots shipped in from Senchal ought to do fine : we have plenty of them , and nobody looks at a guard ' s feet anyway . But make sure they have good quality straps at the ankle to attach to the bottom of the greaves . BOWS We ' re arming town guards here : they don ' t need to shoot arrows at battlefield ranges , so there ' s no point in giving them powerful ( and expensive ) composite bows . Simple self bows will do fine – and as a matter of fact , we just got a ship load of those from Velyn Harbor ! CHEST PIECES It was smart to buy out that entire shipment of mix - and - match layered cuirass pieces from that forge that went out of business in Satakalaam . We sold most of them to the Iron Wheel , but there are enough pieces left over to equip our own Abah ' s Watch guards . DAGGERS Redguard blades – swords and daggers – are just the best , even simple , relatively plain stabbers like those crates of used weapons we got from the school at Leki ' s Blade . They may have been forged as practice blades , but they ' re none the less lethal for that . Make sure every one of our guards has one of those simple curved daggers . GLOVES When we bought those Satakalaam cuirasses , I got them to throw in two crates of matching gauntlets constructed along similar lines : a sturdy leather base that supports layers of mix - and - match plates mounted on top . Those are good combat gloves ; it ' s almost a shame not to sell them . But the guards must have gauntlets ! HELMETS We sold the Iron Wheel three crates of those turbaned conical helmets from Gilane . I think we have one crate left , so let ' s issue those to the Abah ' s Watch guards . If we run out of the conical helms , give them metal skullcaps to wear under the turbans . LEG GREAVES The greaves we ' re using follow the same design principle as the gauntlets and cuirass : they ' re heavy top - grain leather lined with strap - points for buckling on layered metal plates . Leave off the metal plates for the guards working beats on the docks – if they fall in the harbor , we want them to be able to get out again . MACES We got the maces from the same forge as the axes and shields , and they have that same double - crescent motif , in this case as the shape of the sharp flanges on the maces ' heads . That double crescent : I wonder what it means ? SHIELDS Even after equipping the Iron Wheel , we still have a lot of those round shields faced with the double - crescent design . Put a slightly different tint on them and issue those to our guards . SHOULDER ARMOR We have a fair number of sets of pauldrons from Satakalaam that match the cuirass and gauntlets – heavy leather with attachments for overlapping metal plates . In for a copper , in for a drake : might as well give those to the Landing guards as well . STAVES In the warehouse at the outer harbor you ' ll find a round dozen spell - staves topped with double - crescent finials . That ought to be enough to equip our spellcasting officers , and as a bonus they match the design on the axes , maces , and shields . SWORDS We got both one - handed and two - handed swords from the school at Leki ' s Blade , and from their quality and condition you ' d never know they ' d been used as practice blades by students for years . Redguards take care of their swords like nobody else .
