Arms & Armour of Primeval Thule

Only the Dwarves of Kal-Zinan know the secret of high-grade steel, which translates as +1 or better weapons & armour.

Quodeth, the main city, has large bronzeworks and produces bronze weapons and bronze breastplate (400gp) and full bronze cuirass (900gp) armour for the nobility; medium (50gp) & heavy (40gp) scaled armour of boiled leather (possibly with some bronze facing) for the common soldiers.

Katagia, Last Bastion of Atlantis, retains some ability at ironworking, and still produces heavy chain mail and medium mail cuirass armour of iron links, these both retail for 600gp a suit in Quodeth! There is also a light steel scale cuirass armour (equivalent to breastplate, 400gp) that was once common but is no longer produced. Katagian weapons are typically of forged iron, but inferior to dwarven steel - roughly equivalent to Quodethi bronze.

Imystrahl, the last elven city, used to produce armour of magically treated silver as hard as iron, mostly mail - medium chain shirt, medium mail cuirass, heavy chain mail, and for the nobility the silver cuirass, equivalent to bronze cuirass. While Imystrahl no longer manufactures anything much, great stores of this armour still remain in the city, and some is sold for the black milk.

The Beastmen of Ur-Ghom and elsewhere know nothing of metalwork, but produce razor-sharp stone axes, flint spears, and even sword-clubs inset with obsidian along the 'blade'. While these weapons can do terrible injury, against good armour of bronze, iron or steel they frequently break - roll of '1' on d20.
