Banded Platemail

Banded plate is the most advanced, and most rare type of armor found in The Mortal Realm. It consists of several plates of iron layered on top of one other, worn with chainmail and a gambison underneath. With it, the wearer is practically impervious to attacks, and one would need a highly specialized weapon to break through with any effectiveness. Platemail must be made custom-fitted to any given person, and requires both an extremely skilled smith and large amounts of iron. Only a very few sets of plate exist in all The Mortal Realm.
