Lamellar Armor

Lamellar armor is an advancement on earlier scale armors. Lamellar or locking scale isn't its historical name but rather the name scientists and archeologists have applied to this type of armor. Parallel to scale armor lamellar has also survived almost to modern times being used by Mongolians, Samurais, Russians, and Tibetans in the 17th century.

So you'd think an armor made by Mongolians, Tibetans and other tribes people would be fairly easy to make. Well you'd be right. Lamellar wasn't the most advanced armor but it defended well and was easily repaired. The scales on lamellar were a bit larger than scale armor. While scale was only fastened to the backing, lamellar used a particular pattern to fasten all the scales to all the scales adjacent to it. This is the key difference between scale and lamellar. This advancement allowed it to be crafted without a backing material. The armor was more well secured than scale and was stronger than it.
