Dark Elf Gorget
Epic Armoury's Dark Elf Gorget is leather armor built to protect the neck and upper chest. Made from black full grain leather, it uses several overlapping plates for flexibility and comfort while still guarding the thorax and neck. The shoulder plates are removable and cut in traditional dark elf style, and durable stitching reinforces every exposed edge against deformation from heavy use.
Slide your head through the neck hole -- the back opens to allow this -- then tighten the leather straps around the ribcage to secure the Dark Elf Gorget. Fearsome and sharp in appearance, it suits secretive and dangerous characters especially well, whether worn alone or paired with Epic Armoury's matching Dark Elf armor pieces.
History
- Inspired by armor historically made from metal
- Historically designed with sculpted ridges and overlapping plates to provide reinforced protection and to deflect attacks on a chaotic battlefield
- Also referred to as a gorget, which means throat
- Early versions were typically worn under the breastplate and backplate to support the weight of the heavy plate armor
