Not all of Martapa fights in hard, metal armor. Some of the Houses, mostly House Landshire, wore leather armor, fought mostly with spears and bows and rode horses without saddles. Against swords and the like this is very little protection. The mages of House Landshire developed feathers to weave into a fighter's hair that gave a little extra magical protection.
These charmed feathers, depending on your roleplaying system, will give a +1 to +5 to armor class (or the appropriate equivalent). This does stack with any actual armor bonuses from armor, (since armor never gets past thick hide in the area they are used, but of course your fighter with plate will eventually find one...deal with it). These charmed feathers can also have other enchants upon them, usually protection ones such as spell resistance or protection from poisons. This is up to the game master what he will allow. Each feather takes at least a week to make and up to 1,000 gold worth of materials for the special protections. The recipe for making such things is hard to find, especially in the time of the High King's Sword. You could make it an adventure line just to find the recipe, if you wanted, which would make the reward that much sweeter.
