King Deal Leather

Many lands revere their warrior-kings and admire them in battle... but even the chosen lord of the people needs protection. The King set is more than regal enough to set even the Emperor of the Inner Kingdoms to peace. He certainly couldn't be killed by a boar.

A King deserves the attention of his subjects--his position and power demand such respect--but you also know he must look the part. You have hired the finest craftsmen in your land to create armour fitting a King’s status.

Embroidery embellishes the hems in gold and fine thread. A purple cloak drapes down from your sturdy, confident shoulders. And upon your chest, finely crafted leather with carved detailing marks you as something finer than the rest. No one shall look upon you with anything but admiration.

You, after all, are the King.

Leather Armour

A regal leather cuirass designed to protect the whole torso. Secure this armour tight over the chest and abdomen using three sturdy leather straps and brass buckles on the back.

For additional protection, matching upper leg guards are attached to the cuirass with hardy leather straps. Along the rims of the armour, the edges are bordered with an engraving to unify the entire set. Decorated in Celtic knots and a Celtic Lion on the chest to symbolize protection and power, the effect is an impressive looking piece of armour fit for a king.
