The canon seems to indicate that 3rd Age Sartar is Bronze Age/Iron Age - 4th Century BC. http://john844.org/images/proto-kelts-hallstatt-culture for an image. But I was wondering, if this level could be attributed to Maniria (Esrolia) or Peloria. Surely not, at the least they should be late Roman republic or even Byzantine.
Fronela seems to be RW 15th/16th Century - Full Plate (Meriatan in G:CotHW).
Carmania Cataphacts have been shown to have Scale/Lamellar - going back to 2nd Age?
What do Brithini Soldiery wear? or wield? They don't seem to be the types that would embrace new technology.
What about that 7pt Plate in Griffon Montain, Danmalastinian?
Dwarfs are 17th Century in the 3rd Age, in Broken Council LARP the Dwarf seems to be in RW 14th Century Plate & Lamellar.
Other Elder Races?
In the 2nd Age was the Armour Tech (for want of a better term) higher? Surely GL's would have made significant improvements, which were then lost or shunned. Same with the EWF but I would presume this was destroyed or raw materials (dragon bone) no longer made available.
I jot some thoughts below (understanding YGWV) any thoughts as to what could be added / subtracted for these below or other areas North, South and West of DP? Thoughts on cultural generalities, not outliers.
