Petra of Marienburg

The Empire boasts excellent armourers, some Dwarfen but mostly Human. Armourers have turned to forging plate armour as the business is more lucrative, each suit providing enough wealth to feed a family for years. A few, namely the Master Smith Petra of Marienburg, retained the old ways of making mail armour, making each suit a little better than the last. Petra does a good business, not only for his peerless skill, but also for his choice of city. Marienburg trades with both Bretonnia and the provinces equally, making it a choice location for any business. Hence, Petra sells his goods to both peoples, though few in Bretonnia would claim to import their armour.

What differentiates Petra’s goods from other mail armour is its weight. Somehow, Petra came onto the secret of Elven mail. Though he lacks the materials and a full understanding of the process, what he has learned has helped to make improvements on this popular armour choice.
