Corded Sode (steel)

This sode is made of two rectangular pieces of steel scale armour which sit on the wearer's shoulders to protect them from damage. Brightly coloured cords have been laced across the scale to make each piece an individual work. This sode has black, purple and blue threads stitched across it. Given its weight, this sode is quite cumbersome to wear, but its aesthetic value more than compensates.

Note: Other versions crafted from less durable materials and providing worse protection exist.
