![]() And I think the plain differences are manifold, and significant enough to argue very persuasively against the proposal made.Īgain, I heartily commend the inquisitive mind and the attention to detail that gave rise to this post, but it just doesn't seem to fully line up with the evidence. In short, the similarities mentioned can I think quite fairly be attributed to the fact that various armor sets are likely designed with similar features in mind, rather than there being a direct correlation. On the Fallen Knight trousers, I don't see a shred of metal anywhere, compared to the prominence of the greaves on the knight's. ![]() The trousers also are significantly different from each other. But again, by far a more significant difference is the plain and unornamented nature of the knight breastplate, compared to the extensive reliefs and filigree upon the fallen knight's. Belt location is no indication of similarity, I'd bet most people (and knights) wore their belts in mostly the same place. By far a more major difference is the entire absence, on the Knight helm, of the gold patterns and inlay prolific on the Fallen Knight Helm. You can explain away the difference in eyeslots, but it still remains a difference. The Knight set does not share that distinctive feature. Take a look at the backhand plate on the fallen knight set (the part that covers the back of the hand from the fingers to the wrist). But at the end of that, I have to say I'm unconvinced.įirst, the gauntlets. And I gave it due credit - I even went and put on pieces of the set to compare. Let me start by saying I really appreciate the attention to detail that went into this post. The takeaway from these similarities that I got is this: The Knight set is the armor belonging to the order of Fallen Knights, pre-collapse, and the player (if knight class chosen) would therefore be a member of said order, long dead by the time their order has fallen into disarray. And over the boot itself on both, various wrappings. Below it, another that sits halfway inside the boot. ![]() As seen above the knee of both, a wide band. Both armors share several wrappings of cloth that wrap around the trousers and boots of the sets. The main difference in the two is the Knight Set has a piece of the fauld missing, and the Fallen Knight Set is missing the chainmail skirt. The cloth hangs down in a triangular shape with split tassels hanging off the edge. The two sets share the same belt locations, fauld, and cloth. The open visor is a result of the metal being warped. The two have the same curved pattern that goes just past the eyes of the helmet and though it's hard to see, yes, the Fallen Knight set does have two eye holes. Or more particularly, the engravings they share. No other pair of gauntlets share these two features, together. The gauntlets on both have a curve going towards the elbow, and distinct rivets that follow the edge. These two armor sets have identical characteristics that are hard to ignore.įor Example: The first and most obvious similarity, their gloves.
