Not a problem. What exactly are Armigers? Men at arms, shock troops?
Strictly speaking it's a medieval term for an armor bearer, but it can also mean one entitled to bear heraldic arms. So I'm mostly being a twat and re-purposing the word to indicate an elite armsman who is of Hyperborean descent and thus able to bear the crest of a noble house (even if they themselves aren't strictly speaking a high-born Hyperborean noble). By contrast the bulk of the imperial legions are made up of local levies, conscripts and foreigners. Here in Odessos, the Armigers are the Exarch's (i.e. Governor's) elite heavy troopers.
Great. Elite troops with MORE armor we can't immediately use if we manage to knock them off.
"We don't have enough disguises for the lot of us, so it's a moot point for now."
