Baulderon is a dwarven city set back in the comfortable
embrace of the Bluefang mountains. Baulderon is an exporter of steel ,
silver and precious stones. What little gold they do mine they keep for
themselves, as gold is the favorite of all the precious metals to the dwarves.
Here in Baulderon you will find the finest and most competent armories
in the land. You are able to buy armor here slightly cheaper by cutting
out the middle man's inflated prices in the realm. Approaching the smithy,
you can hear the ringing of the falling hammers as they shape and mold
the steel into wonderfully crafted pieces of armor. As you enter you are
greeted by a soot covered, sweaty dwarf with a large semi-toothed mouth
hidden beneath a unkempt, graying beard and mustache. " Ere
now, Good day to ye! Onjen Redblock at yer service. What may I do fer ye
today?"
Padded:
The simplest type of armor, made up of quilted layers
of cloth and batting. It is very hot and tends to become foul with sweat,
grime, lice and fleas. Cost- 4gp Weight- 10lbs
Leather:
Made of leather that has been hardened in boiling
oil then shaped into breastplate and shoulder protectors. The remainder
of the suit is made of softer, more flexible materials. Cost- 10gp Weight-
15lbs
Brigantine:

canvas or cloth. It is stiff and does not provide good protection to the

most common form of heavy armor. Cost- 600gp Weight- 50lbs

A common version of full plate, consisting of
shaped and fitted metal plates riveted and interlocked to cover the entire

by a master armorer. Cost- 2,000gp Weight- 60lbs
