Couters

Part of Armor of Juhnvechteya
The couter is the common defense for the elbow, used by all soldiers from knights to sergeants and citizen militia. 
Couters were invented in the 450s/300s JC/VC in Khoorte. Originally a simple piece of curved metal, by 600/450 JC/VC, in Cinelli they had evolved into a fully articulated joint between a knight’s vambrace and rerebrace. 
Often made of a single piece of metal, it is easy to produce, though doesn’t protect the inside of the arm, exposing the maille or gambeson beneath. This may be protected by an additional roundel. 
The articulated couters are produced only in Cinelli and Harda.
