Due to these restrictions the scientific minds of the kingdom developed a technique that allows them to process and smith insect chitin into a sturdy leathery plate. A material that makes for a nearly perfect armour. The soldier on the left is wearing the processed chitin, it takes on a brown shade as part of the process, but takes much time and degrades the health of those who create it. So only settlements that posses the factotum and skilled hands in great numbers will be granted this miracle armour. On top of that, they may not get a full suit, substituting parts for metal, leather, or raw chitin. The soldier on the right is from a small village. With no factorum the soldier wears bulky, slightly oversized, but effective chitin, straight from the insects the people farm for food and leather. Only one out of twenty people in this era can write, closer to three out of ten can understand basic written words. Writing is a commodity, seen as intention given form. So favours may be done for a local priest in exchange for writing upon their armour. This one roughly means: 'The Power of Countless Bodies.'
