Spaulders and Pauldrons

Part of Armor of Juhnvechteya
== Spaulders ==
Spaulders are a type of shoulder armor, protecting the top of the shoulder and top of the upper arm. 
Originating in the 50s/-100s JC/VC, spaulders were worn by officers of the Kingdom of Grander Joraje, though they fell out of fashion in the 160s/10s JC/VC. They would come back into use in the 510s/360s JC/VC. 
Made of brigandine, though more often plate, spaulders are among the easiest to construct of all pieces of plate. 
Spaulders leave a gap under the armpit. This may be covered by a besagew, or may be left bare, exposing the maille beneath. 
== Pauldrons ==
Pauldrons are another type of shoulder armor, protecting the shoulder, upper arm, and the armpit. They are larger than spaulders. 
Pauldrons evolved from spaulders in the 610s/460s JC/VC, originating in Harda. However, they are of great difficulty to construct, so they are limited to the most wealthy and are only produced by the most skilled of smiths of Old Guilder’s Lane.
