Common Armor and Shields of Martapa

Padded armor (basically quilted cloth armor)
Leather Armor (boiled leather)
Studded Leather (leather armor re-enforced with metal studs)
Scale Mail (this is armor made of overlapping metal plates)
Chainmail (Made of lots of interlocking metal rings)
Plate armor (armor made of metal to encase the body, each suit fitted to a specific owner)

Shields can be made of wood or steel and can be small, like buckler, or up to the size of tower shield.

Humans use everything of the above, as do dwarves. Elves are more likely to use chainmail or leather (both wood elves and ancient elves). Akicitia will use scalemail, though usually made out of overlapping leather plates, rather then metal. Ogres and Minotaurs use everything, though prefer the chain and half plate.
