Stoutheart Gambeson
Description
A simple form of light armour that has been responsible for saving a great many lives. The Stoutheart Gambeson is one of the simplest forms of magic armour to create, but very time consuming. The jacket must be carefully quilted over a period of many weeks, and any error in the process may require the artisan to start all over again. Dawnish witch weavers and Marcher artisans alike carefully dye and colour the stoutheart gambesons they craft to show the heraldric colours or livery of the noble house or household for which they are intended, while among the Navarr and Winterfolk, light leather hauberks bearing protective runes are worn by scouts who want range some distance from their allies.
In some parts of the Empire this items are given as gifts to soldiers or warriors whose families cannot afford more powerful magical protection.
