	Martial Regalia armor is a product of a sophisticated culture that is capable of producing very protective armors, but chooses to make agile armor that 'looks good.' This is used for functions such as parades, coronation ceremonies, standing guard in palaces, and so on. For adventurers, regalia is a level of protection similar to chain mail but which has a little style to it. Martial Regalia may or may not be available in all campaign settings. Martial Regalia is made of tooled leather designed to conceal the heavy chainmail reinforcements. Due to this fine construction, regalia may be constructed from any one of the dweomermetals. Martial Regalia is often used as a uniform by rich, powerful organizations that need to maintain appearances, but actually be ready to fight at the same time. The leather over the chainmail deadens the noise such armor typically makes, and wearers take only a -1 armor check penalty on Stealth checks as a result (instead of -3).
