Bronzeplate

(see Dwarves) Dwarven Bannerets are called @ and they came from the tradition of outpost dwarves cladding certain outriders in bronze armor, and giving them a bugle. Though the bugle part has been dropped over the years, most Bronzeplates still carry some manner of brass instrument to announce their presence and bolster the morale of the soldiers. The actual type of metal their armor is made up of varies on the individual, though it is always painted to resemble polished bronze. This was to announce their presence upon the soldier arriving where they were needed. Accompanied with a blast of their instrument of choice it is impossible to miss the arrival of a bronzeplate. This worked for the dwarves themself as their job was to aid beleaguered outposts in the midst of a siege, or work crew under threat of raiders. Consumate fighters, and bold leaders, the bronzeplates were deployed to deal with threats armies would be too slow to respond to or too small to afford the expense. Regardless they are effective, and attract larger-than-life personalities eager to make a name for themself, even after the completion of The Long Climb‌.
