Armour on 3 Wands man's extended arm?
Is it me or does the tell-tale bluish hue of cold metal (used by PCS) denote that armour/protection/strength is showing on this merchants extended arm? Or is it just blue bunched up material around his elbow - cant see too clearly as wand in the way - any thoughts ye illustrious ones? Humbly, bows, scrapes hat on floor, yours, Cara x |

O humble querent, I know not. Armour was pretty much exclusive to the knighthood, not the merchant class. The stuff was heavy; they didn't have aluminum back then, and aluminum wouldn't have protected very well anyhow.

It does bear a striking resemblance to the armor on the arms of some of the Knights. The critical factor is the elbow which isn't completely visible, but there seems to be a hint of an elbow piece just to the left of the wand. |
