Medium and Heavy Armor

Holding a hammer as large and heavy as his fist, a dwarf pounds sheets of metal into protective shapes against a pitch-black anvil. His shop only lit by the dim light of molten slag from his forge, he nevertheless looks over his work with a keen eye, studying it closely for any weaknesses or imperfections.   Riding an enormous warhorse laden with heavy saddlebags, an armored half-orc rides the trade routes with an eye out for customers. All must learn of her mastery of armorcraft, she thinks, and she will travel the world until her name is held in great renown. Merchants that deal in armor are typically blacksmiths themselves, forging their wares and selling them off to those that need them.   These merchants may have a specific predilection that prohibits them from selling certain items, however. A dwarven armor merchant, for example, would be unlikely to sell elven chain, while an elf would be just as unlikely to craft or sell a set of dwarven plate, each considering the other’s craft to be the height of distaste. Similarly, some merchants may trend more towards selling heavy armor, medium armor, or shields, but all tend to have at least a few token offerings of goods outside their particular focus.
