Khitan Captain Tasset

Description
"When I found you starving in the Khitan jungles,' he said abruptly, 'exiles from your kingdom, you swore to serve me."

- The Hour of the Dragon

The politics of the empire of Khitai are mysterious to those who come from the Western kingdoms. Khitan warriors might have allegiance to a clan, a faction, a city-state and, of course, the Emperor himself. They might have allegiance to all of them at the same time.

This armor is made in imitation of the armor worn by the imperial bodyguards of the Emperor. While it is made with lesser materials, it still offers significant protection. There is an art to making the armor ornate enough to awe the peasantry, but not so ornate that it offends the nobility.

The Exiled Lands is a melting pot of races and castes, so it is perhaps unsurprising that such armor exists in such an uncivilized place.

The overlapping leather on these tassets provide good protection against blows, but it is the slits that provide freedom of movement beyond heavy armor.
