Frog-metal, or Syrabane's Steel, is a highly coveted rarity to those of us alive today. But this was not always the case. The famed buoyant metal is an astounding prize for mariners around Amenos. The supply is woefully limited and not exactly something one can just whip up. So, I will describe these designs how they were, before Syrabane's metal was lost to the sea. When stalwart sea knights made use of these weapons and armor, they did so unafraid of the waves that rocked the decks beneath their feet. These knights of the unfathomable depths are worthy of study, as are their arms.
I located this record of one such knight who took the time to painstakingly describe the sheer magnificence of his equipment. I hope you enjoy his account as much as I, dear reader.
SHIELDS
Our shields resemble the back of a fearsome creature—something that slithers beneath the waves in wait. A squid-like face at the top overshadows the glowing orange carapace that gives the shield most of its strength. Syrabane's Steel allows for the shields to be quite large and ostentatious without risking the wearer being weighed down.
