ANST - query on Japanese armor patterns

[Mary Temple]

You might also contact Kitakaze Raito, lately of Bryn Gwlad but now back 
in Jaraveiller (sp?) in the Midrealm. He has been playing a Japanese 
persona for the past 20 years and had the most impressive armor I ever 
saw out at Bryn Gwlad's fighter practice - mask included! In fact, he 
was the second recipient of the Silver Chalice, our Baronial award for 
excellence in persona. (And we're pretty good at that sorta stuff if I 
do say so myself!) I don't know if he's on the Ansteorra list, but I'd 
be happy to pass on his email address to those who are interested and 
ask me privately.
