Númenórean Chestplate
Armour in Middle-earth was as diverse as the lands and peoples who crafted it, ranging from simple leather coats to legendary enchanted mail. Across the ages, from the First Age to the Fourth, warfare and craftsmanship advanced, producing armours of ever-greater strength, flexibility, and artistry. Forged in Dwarven forges, Númenórean smithies, and dark furnaces, each piece of armour served not only as protection but often as a symbol of status, heritage, and power.
