The skeletons are essentially warriors that perished in past battles, so shouldn’t their armor and headgear have ‘wounds’ inflicted in a fight? Not just rust, but some serious damage that resulted in an owner’s death?
these guys have been lying in the ground for ages
But the mantles (cloth capes) look like new!! Only buckle covered in rust..
They are very cool, but according to setting absolutely out of place: the capes shouldn’t exist in their attire, because you’d imagine any sort of cloth would completely rot in a decade, and in a century only buckle would be left.
Unless they visited a store in a local village and dressed up expecting your visit.
