Rhylian Wall Maille
Rhylian Wall Maille is named after The Autumn Wall, this light ring mail Armor of Note is designed to keep its wearer warm, and provide maneuverability. It is a specialty Armor of the Steel Realms, initially forged in the northern Kingdoms of Rhyl. Stylistically, it has its origins in Dominion Armaments – ideas were carried down from ancient armor of Fallen Dundaria.
Its metal rings like washers, quenched using headwater water from one of the rivers of The The Grand Duchy of Rhyl and pine resin from the Great Forest of Rhyl. Its properties vanish outside the border of the Grand Duchy of Rhyl and it becomes a heavy suit of light armor typically not well suited for use compared to other light armors It is a bit stiff and creaky, and unsuited to stealthy approaches – unnecessary for fighting the Undead of Helca on a dug in line of defense in the advent of the rise of Lichrya (Fallen Dundaria).

Once the order fulfilled its initial charge of exploring the kingdom of Dundaria after its fall to the Lich Lords, and the Autumn Wall was built, the armor’s protection from cold was no longer needed and fell out of favor – quickness and reaction emphasis overrode the strength based approach or its brethren.
Tradition of Rhyl: Rhylian Wall Maille became more of a traditional armor for its symbolism, rather than usefulness. It is no longer produced en-masse as it once was, though the non-traditional suits of armor based on its initial Dominion Armaments design are still made. It is often worn by the Ducal Guard of Rhyl and some members of Rhylian Ducal Retinue in ceremonies. It is still made in the
