[quote=@Major Sharpe]Who do you think would have proposed the pact initially, War Chief Kam'Till or King Childeric?[/quote]
I was hoping Maximillian Laurens III was the one who proposed it, while trying to forge trade links with the tribals. :D

[quote=@Major Sharpe]They might be less common in areas that are less advanced, or where skilled smiths and iron are in shorter supply.[/quote]
They aren't as common in Laurensia either, since the dense forests make it difficult for a fully armoured person to navigate quickly. Most armoured knights who enter the area tends to wander out again several weeks later, minus their armour and with their arms filled with 'magical' items.
