Sun and Moon Kingdom Armor

Description

So here's something I felt like doing. Mostly because I wanted to design helmets and draw the Moon Kingdom's armor.

So here's a break down/lol info dump.

The first is Casual Uniforms for the guards and soldiers. It's pretty much the base for what they wear.

The second is light weight armor for flyers, archers and just armor for mobility purposes.

The medium armor is the usual wear during anything. The heavier the armor means less mobility and short periods of flight. The medium armor is popular and the most used throughout both kingdoms.

The full armor is for warfare and direct combat. It is also decorative and the guards within the Palace of both Kingdoms will wear it. Guards and soldiers in the Moon Kingdom generally wear this armor because they populate along the coast and have a regular four season weather experience.

All of the Angelus armor is strong and light. And the Sun Kingdom has mastered its smithing to produce such metals because of their climate. Their armor cannot be that heavy because they wouldn't be able to fly otherwise.

Since they are currently in a time of peace, the Sun Kingdom tends to just wear the casual uniform because of the light chain-mail. And because the capital is in a desert, it's pretty hot. So they also have a shorts and sandals version. Soldiers in the outer towns of the Kingdom (along the coast and forested areas) will wear more armor. They also have a hooded cloak for desert travel/storms--these are the colour of one of the 6 divisions that one can be in.

The Moon guys have roles for theirs. Allotted to archers, scouts, coastal patrols and swordsmen etc. But they like to be a bit more fancy and wear more. Especially within the capital/higher ranked soldiers.

While the Moon Kingdom does not have noticeable divisions, they are just all ranked. They'll have markings, badges and fancier base tunics the higher the rank.

The Sun Kingdom on the other hand, is a bit more colourful. This is because their military is more complex. The Sun Kingdom has always specialized in warfare and the capital has the best defense in the entire land. They train their magic to be primarily offensive (Moon angelus are offensive in the military too, but abilities are more diverse into healing, shielding and other things).

How the 6 divisions within the Sun Kingdom work is like this:

You have Guards and Solders. Guards are within the capital. They police and defend it.

The soldiers (The Army) protect and police the rest of the kingdom from bandits or in case anyone wants to invade. They are currently building a base at Lake Klain as a HQ. The Army has 10 captains (each with their own 1st and 2nd Lieutenant) who are divided throughout the Kingdom. The General of the Army is Akiore. Their division colour is WHITE.

The Capital is like....a half sun in appearance. It's back up against a canyon. It has really tall walls too (with a shield that does not allow anyone to fly in or out--but they can fly around inside). The city is divided into 4 parts with Guard Captains and their own division/sectors. The Northern Guards are actually the Palace Guards. So they are kept within the palace grounds (palace has its own wall with a shield that does not allow anyone to fly. You cannot fly within the palace grounds at all). This is how you make walls work with a race that can fly.

The Captain of the Northern Palace Guards is Falor Ghet (Akiore and Angelie tormented him terribly). And their colour is RED.

The Western Sector of the city is full of the wealthy (nobles and highblood's capital residences--they usually have their own land in the kingdom somewhere too but have houses within the city for political reasons and convenience). They are pretty tied to the council, which has become corrupt since Akiore's fathers death. Their Captain is Huntis Whiln and their colour is PURPLE.

The Eastern Sector is the merchant, development and shopping district. It also contains the eastern gate (that leads to Lake Klain). It's a bit more low class in terms of wealth and poverty and such. The Captain of the Eastern Guards is Tristan Mellian and their colour is GREEN. (Fun fact: Tristan joined the Eastern sector because the Mellian's sigil is green/most Mellian's magic are green).

The Southern Sector is the middle-class, study/school and better shop district. It also guards the main gate (that leads to the Moon Kingdom-out into the desert). It has a reputation of being nearly crime-free and has the toughest and strongest defense (it held off the attack of the Klithe/Atticus in the beginning of the book and most civilians fled to this district for protection--because they succeeded in breaking in through the eastern gate). This is mostly due to their current Guard Captain Jillian Styren--who's a hardass. Their colour is BLUE.

The General of the Guards is Tias Maxly.

The 6th and final division are the Kingsguard. They are elite guards that protect the King and royal family. There are 10 of them including their General Owen Vale. Their colour is GOLD.

Owen, Tias and Akiore are the three Generals of the Sun Kingdom. City Captains also have more importance than Army Captains.

So 6 divisions = Kingsguard, Army, North Guards, Wester Guards, East Guards and South Guards.

The Sun Angelus look less fancy because it's just too hot to be fancy.

Also, yes, they have no armor on their back. This is so they can fly when they unseal their wings. They'll usually strap their shield on their back to protect it. but their weakness is their back.

I'm going to stop now. That took a while a type up and I doubt anyone will read this anyways.

tl;dr I put a lot of effort and years into developing the army, clothes and cities of Project FALL. The Sun and Moon Angelus are swag. Sky bros be jealous.

And I wanted to show the difference between the Sun and Moon races.
