Research - 1160-1180 CE

The rule of King Leonel III of Zintra had introduced many changes to the Kingdom. The capital Leustadt had grown tremendously since the reign of Leonel I with architectural projects dominating the lower city. A new building material known as the brick was used for some of the more important buildings. Pulleys could be seen moving heavier materials with greater ease.

During his reign, Leonel also institutionalized the way Justice was dispensed in the Kingdom. Formalizing the process by sending out judges (usually holy men) to listen to cases throughout all of Zintra's counties. People brought to court would have to go through ordeals - ordeal by water, by fire or by combat. Some Counts grumbled at not having the right to dispense decisions, but ultimately Leonel's mobilized armies proved to be very convincing.

Said mobilized armies were extremely busy fighting and killing. Zintran armies under the command of Count Ludwig had been in Croatia fighting rebellious vassals, and another army led personally by King Leonel III had fought Vuugists in the Palatine Duchies and gotten the loyalty of the rest. Coat of Plates were necessary to armour up the Knights of Zintra as much as possible, and Kite shields became useful in infantry fights.
