Roral Rivet

Part of Armor of Otheia
Hearing word of “Those Bastard Nomads” introducing a new variety of heavy armor, the House of Roral, several of whose holdings had recently been raided by the aforementioned Vasladi brigands, reactivated an old project of theirs. 
By taking advantage of the vast foundries in their cadet house’s petty realm, the Steel Realm, a new type of armor has been developed.
Roral Rivet is designed as a form of All’Antica, calling back to legendary figures of the ancient past. 
It was designed to be manufactured easily whilst still affording considerable protection to the wearer. It consisted of a breastplate and backplate with laminated thigh-guards called tassets. All of this, at least for officers, is designed to appear scale-like, alluding to the iconography of historic princes of the Otheiae. However, it does not cover the full body, merely the torso, head and upper thighs, to enable the movement necessary in Otheiae warfare
The mean price of one of these sets of kit is relatively cheap; roughly 38 silver naudu, and it is projected that all Garrison forces of House Roral will be able to be equipped with Rivet within 15 years. For the time being, however, the majority of the garrison army will still be equipped with Plotscild and maille.
