Lamellar was a type of armor used in the lands of Kara-Tur[5] and Zakhara.[1]
Description[]
Lamellar was similar to scale armor[6]. It was made by overlapping metal plates called lamellas connected via metal links. Lamellar was lighter in weight than standard scale mail and cost less to produce. This armor was one of the more favored heavy armor variants in Zakhara.[1]
Variations[]
- Do-maru: A Kara-turan corselet of lamellar covering the stomach, chest, shoulders, and back.[2]
History[]
In the Year of the Nine Stars, 657 DR, the Grand Caliph Arash bint Sanjar sent legions of askars outfitted in djinn-forged lamellar to march upon the lands of the Utter East in an event that later became known as the Scouring of the Utter East.[7]
