Vambrace
Vambraces (French: avant-bras, Polish: karwasz, sometimes known as lower cannons in the Middle Ages) or forearm guards are tubular or gutter defences for the forearm worn as part of a suit of plate armour. Vambraces may be worn with or without separate couters in a full suit of medieval armour. The term originates in the early 14th century. They were made from either boiled leather or steel. Leather vambraces were sometimes reinforced with longitudinal strips of hardened hide or metal creating splinted armour.

From Lust To Dusk
by: VampyroussUnder scarlet evening skies I sighOpening my undead weary
eyes
Ready to walk into the night
As the final light of the sun recedes
I catch the scent of her
My solemn need, my only dream
She sees past my disease, my lack of humanity
Making this curse feel as real as a dream
And it would seem this is the seductress for me
I reach from the dark, her I seek to fulfil my heart
Rising as the dusk, I give in to my lust
I beg let me free, of this passion tearing me
Encompassing all light, like the coming of the night
Finally we meet, hungering our darkest needs
Gently she disrobes her seams, and instantly my soul is
redeemed
