| - A brigandine is a form of body armor, made of a cloth garment, generally canvas or leather, lined with small oblong steel plates riveted to the fabric. The form of the brigandine is essentially the same as the civilian doublet, though it is commonly sleeveless. However, depictions of brigandine armor with sleeves are known. Many brigandines appear to have had larger, somewhat 'L-shaped' plates over the lungs. The rivets, or nails, attaching the plates to the fabric are often decorated, being gilt or of latten and often embossed with a design.

The brigandine has been confused with the haubergeon, while the name is often confused with the brigantine, a swift small sea vessel.
- Brigandine Stoutlager is the daughter of Flidais Greymantle, who forgot her ladylike reserve at a crucial juncture and fancied herself a fling with the proprietor of the Stoutlager Inn. An only child, Brigandine grew up in the misty eaves of Auberdine, attached at the hip to a bear later discovered to be a Druidess known as Talxochitl. She and Tal whiled away many a season in that perpetually moonlit vale, but alas, Brigandine felt her heart pulling her elsewhere. Dissatisfied with her situation, she abruptly gave in to wanderlust, leaving without so much as a farewell.
