Mail-and-plate specifically? The Carmanians might, and perhaps the
Junorans. The Loskalmi, though, have access to white plate (yer
full-plate-never-mind-the-mail stuff), which is as good as you'll find
anywhere outside the Mostali. In general, I think the West has the best
armour, and IMG at least, their magic tends to reflect the same
philosophy - that is, it's very good at defence, being more likely to
include Strengthen Armour than Lightning Swift Sword, for instance.
Which isn't to say that they don't have spells like that, of course,
especially when it comes to Horseback Charge At High Speed In Full
Battle Armour, which the French only wish they'd had at Agincourt...
