Hero Attire

Bloodbound

Overview:

Stand united!

Unhelmed yet unbroken, obsidian armor forged in siege-fire's dying glow.

Put it on, and become legend - a terracotta warlord reborn.

Historical Insights: Terracotta Army findings show no helmets were used; soldiers wore headbands while officers had leather pieces.

Material Analysis: In Terracotta Army, soldier armor used thick rawhide plates; officers wore smaller edged plates, possibly iron/composite armor for high ranks.

Craftsmanship: Qin Armor made from oxhide treated with lacquer, which requires significant resources due to the low sap yield of lacquer trees. The edges reinforced with silk braiding via groove-pressing techniques.

Warborn

Overview:

Breastplates forged from shattered blades of foes,

Greaves layered like winter's bite seal Hangu passes.

When the great general marches in this armor,

Kingdoms fall like autumn leaves.

All challengers... forgotten.

Modular construction: "Upper Guard" (chest/shoulders) and "Lower Guard" (abdomen/legs) with independent sleeve/skirt plating for mobility. Curved plates conforming to human anatomy, some mass-produced via molds - an early standardization marvel.

Functional Design: Officer's leather war-crowns blend combat-ready symbolism with status display, while soldiers' reinforced headwraps suggest hidden padding for impact absorption.
