Hardened leather offers a sturdier defence that is able to turn away more powerful attacks. Favoured by hunters and rangers, who like the defence it offers without the reduction in mobility that comes with sturdier armour.

In poor weather, particularly rain and cold, the armour would create a distinctive creaking noise. Barely audible for the most part, but in the silence of the night, it felt like a deafening roar. Wild Knights compensated for the sound of their armour by using simple spells to distract people, as they crept through the streets to rescue Amalgamated.

They called animal spirits, notably crows, ravens and magpies, which would caw angrily at anyone nearby. In reference to the magpie spirits they would summon, the term 'dark tidings' came to refer to whenever the Wild Knights were seen near town.
