Description
"I've looted enough from the Khitan caravans to know what I'm talking about,' he asserted. 'That's jade!"

To journey across the Thurian continent is a long and perilous task. Only the most hardened or desperate of mercenaries take work protecting the jade and silk-laden caravans that set out from mysterious empire of Khitai.

The arduous journey takes its toll upon their armor and thus certain smiths and leatherworkers of the west have become specialists in its repair. In time, they have even learned to replicate it to some level of success.

This sturdy cuirass is standard issue for guards along the eastern caravan route. It offers protection against arrows and blades, while still allowing enough free movement to help with the day to day menial labor of running a caravan.

On uneventful journeys, a mercenary spends more time as a laborer than a fighter. Which is something most of them would prefer.
