An armored sleeve tapers from a wide top, its surface a dense web of dark brown chainmail over tan fabric. Rows of small rectangular plates are sewn into the upper arm, transitioning to a floral medallion at the elbow. Three long vertical plates line the forearm, meeting teal cords wrapped at the wrist. A hinged iron plate with horizontal ridges covers the hand, its dark finish matching the protective plating above.
