Reachfolk warriors are known far and wide for their ferocity in battle and the primitiveness of their arms and armor. Few Reachfolk smelt iron, let alone steel, and at its best Reachfolk metalwork is poorly made. Instead, Reachfolk rely on materials provided by nature to fashion their weapons: wood, stone, hide, and bone. During Empress Hestra's recent campaign to establish Imperial rule in the Reach, we learned that a Reachfolk's hide shield can stop a hard-driven arrow just as well as steel-bossed birchwood, and an axe fashioned from the shoulderblade of a Druadach bear can part the links of light mail. Primitive, yes—but effective as well.
BELTS
If there is one craft in which Reachfolk match the workmanship of Tamriel's civilized peoples, it is leatherworking. Most of a Reach warrior's clothing is purely functional, but sturdy leather belts are intended to last for many years. They are usually tooled with stylized images of beasts the wearer holds in high esteem. Bear, elk, wolf, and raven images are most common.
