:icontheghostwolfe:
A visual aid to help in my writing, it shows the basic ("field") armour set worn by Wild Elves, as well as the components for "full" armour -- the addition of a breastplate and gorget, as well as more protective tasset and bracers.

The spaulders and pauldrons are technically one piece of armour, they cannot be separated. While we're being technical, pauldrons and spaulders are actually the same thing, but I couldn't find a word I liked for the way this particular piece of armour was constructed.

Male and female elves wear the same armour, but with adjusts made for differences in anatomy (as demonstrated with the two types of breastplate). The pauldrons are also different, with the male (left) covering more of the chest than the female (right). In all honesty, this should probably be the opposite, and I might adjust/add a "female field pauldron" and call the smaller profile the "battle pauldron" (where the reduced coverage is compensated for by the breastplate).

I also hope to do one of these for the main character's armour, but as he wears full plate (as well as a surcoat and cloak), that one's probably going to take a bit longer.

Finally: armor/armour is a regional spelling difference, and they both look weird to me. "Armor" looked a little less odd in the font I was using.
