When the Knight is traveling in
Nevendaar under the orders of the Emperor, he will have the
opportunity to accumulate not only experience, but important material
values and the scars to prove it.
First and foremost he will need to acquire the best armor and weapons available.
A
soldier should be reinforced with the Shell of the Four Winds at the
very first opportunity. This is the legendary armor that allows for a
warrior in battle to move with the speed of the wind. Unfortunately,
the armor is unable to stop a really strong enemy attack. But still,
its protective properties are much better than that of conventional
infantry armor.
The light shoulder straps worn by the knight
need to be replaced with heavy, reinforced ones. These reinforced
straps are much stronger. However, they are not as convenient in battle
as the lighter ones.
The Knights new pants are made with
thick and heavy weaving. And of course, this makes for difficult and
restricted movement. However, they provide good protection and, of
course, protect the legs of the owner in battle significantly better
than the simple leather pants.
If the knight has the
opportunity, he can change his footwear to a stronger, steel covered
boot that will be excellent for battle, and for walking and marching.
The
gloves warn by the swordsmen are weak and will not hold up if struck.
They should be replaced with the Eagles Claw whenever possible. Of
course, to find these skilled glove makers is not an easy task, but
definitely worth it, because, in addition to their reputation for
protecting the hands, these gloves will also give the owner great power.
The
Steel Helmet of Rage, despite the fact that it is not featuring a
beaver, provides much more head protection than an ordinary soldier’s
helmet. As for the lack of a beaver, this was done specifically to
scary the enemies in combat. Seeing the face of a knight showing their
anger would terrify the enemies so they would retreat before the battle
began.
In addition to the armor, the weapons are worth
mentioning also. An experienced officer can usually afford to buy one
of the Blades of the Bloody Harvest. These swords, made of steel with a
rare blood-red reflection, the secret of the manufacturing of these
swords is known in the Empire to only one family. These double-edged
swords easily cut through almost any armor, causing terrible wounds to
the enemy.
