Kindred of the Carvings: Gray Guard (side profile, in the rain)

'I noticed the Inquisitors with the steel plate were using pump action shotguns, instead of... I was saying. Flamethrowers? She replied, sounding amused. Those Inquisitors belong to a sect we call the Gray Guard. Because of witch burnings, a lot of people think flamethrowers must be effective against demons, but that's like trying to drown a shark, they come from the fiery plain, you know?'

Armour of the English Knight: 1440 - 1450

Source: Armour of the English Knight 1400-1450

Great Bascinet: Neckplates now quite closely shaped to the chin and throat, more closely resembling a bevor.

Cuirass: Skirts continue to shorten after 1440, especially with the introduction of the new Italianate tasset form. The english variation of the style usually includes sidetassets often of the same size as the front tassets. Hind-tasset design uncertain, but probably similar to those observed on Iberian and Italian export armour of the same period. Because of the shorter skirt, more of the mail skirt is visible, and is generally shown to be drawn down into long dags at the front, back and sides.

Pauldrons: Asymmetric fluted designs introduced, the right having either a large or small cut-out or "mouth" to accomodate couched weapons, the left fully covering the shoulder and upper arm, offering greater protection especially at the front. Arming points and underarm straps assumed to be present, although not depicted on the effegies.

Vambraces: The side-wings now take on a deeply fluted, shell-like form. Upper cannons closed with straps, lower cannons perhaps with loose-pin hinges or straps.

Gauntlets: Older hourglass form illustrated coexists with the newer type having an extended metacarpal plate.

Leg Armour: Introduction of diagonal flutes on the thigh-plates, new side-wing design to match the vambraces, and cusped uppermost poleyn lane and demi-greave.

Sabaton: Articulation lanes starting to be drawn out into points along the top of the foot. Continued and consistent use of downward lapping construction indicating use of internal leathers.

Bevor:

Gorget:

(but a bevor is a type of gorget! yeah, but it's unique enough that it has its own name and function so we're splitting them up for the sake of a dumb post)

to start your research: Bevor, Gorget

Ja, Duzen und Siezen im Deutschen hat auch Vorteile. Aber ach du meine Güte, wenn man nicht weiß, wie man jemanden ansprechen soll/darf, ist das einfach die Hölle.

Noch nie war ich so kreativ in meiner Satzbildung wie wenn ich es durchgehend vermeide jemanden direkt anzusprechen, weil ich nicht weiß, ob ich Du oder Sie sagen soll.

stellt euch vor sie würden uns Leo tatsächlich wegsterben lassen und erst da, als Adam nicht glauben kann was passiert, und erst als Leo nicht mehr hören kann was Adam sagt, erst da entfährt Adam ein verzweifeltes »Leo? Leo!? Ich liebe dich- Du kannst nicht- LEO. Ich. Liebe. Dich.«
