The armor is made of hide and leather (usually from seal or manatee), with sharkskin "plates." Since the sharkskin and leather can be a pain to process, many rank-and-file troops have cheap hide armor or no armor.

This country can't forge metal. The commander's iron sword is imported from another country. Weapons are normally made of bone.

Weight and manueverability are a big concern underwater.
