Forgotten Armory: Gothic style

Before the calamity. Before the rot set in. Before the Blackguards and the Forlorn Hope marched.
There was an age of wealth and power — master craftsmen forged blades fit for kings, knights grew fat on coin and blood, women wove their own webs of influence, and lords ruled with iron hands.
Wars raged in the name of the king, calling the boldest and the strongest to seize glory — or die chasing it.
That meant every blacksmith, craftsman, and worker strove to give their best. The most skilled members of the guilds approached the status of scholars and devoted their entire lives to perfecting the crafts they were so deeply committed to.

In these times, armors of unquestionable quality appeared, forged with techniques that only the greatest of masters could replicate.
All of this, of course, is now lost to time.
What remains are a few forgotten scrolls, passed down through generations scarred by hardship and suffering, now left to rot on dust-choked shelves and in the deepest shadows of abandoned strongholds.
Only a handful of these schematics survived the devastating scourge of rot, scattered across the broken world — waiting to be unearthed, claimed, and brought back to glory!
The forge of excellence and perfection awaits you — step forward, and let your hands reignite the flame that shapes destiny.

Gothic

Introduction

This series of mods aims to introduce historically inspired armors into the game. This one is dedicated to the Gothic style armor set.

Armors added by this mod are improved versions of the vanilla items, which serve as the base for crafting these modded armors. Gothic armor is a little lighter and more breathable than classic plate armor: you walk faster, your stats drain slower, while the defensive stats stay unchanged.

For each armor, you will need a specific schematic, that can be obtained only by deciphering the "Dusty Scroll" that is found throughout ruins, or sold by the Treasure Trader. Due to the rarity of these schematics, their price won’t exactly be a bargain.

Anyway, this is a major refactor of this line of mods — a simple content mod at heart. I’m aware that the recipes are VERY expensive and complicated to obtain, and that’s intentional — these armors represent very late-game technology. On the bright side, once crafted, it should stay with you pretty much forever.
