But isn't it also likely that the Zarosians may have infact used Invictum armour for their melee troops?
Looking at the appearance of that, kind of bears a resemblance to a 'Mahjarrat-Roman' type of design:
OO! That should teach me to ignore the non-lore videos. Well, that is definitely special enough to create Second Age Necronite (which I suppose I should call Invictite). There should be deposits of that at the borders of the former Zarosian Empire rather than at Third Age sites. I can't imagine much of it being manufactured in the Third Age after the empire fell, although there might have been large caches of it found during the Third Age and used by besieged Zarosians or Zamorakian and Saradomist adventuring parties.We might have to firstly discover where the Zarosians mined the ore for it and how they smelted/forged them in that case? Perhaps its also what the Torva armour was forged from and the ones being worn by the 'ancient warriors', unless Invictum was only for the higher ranking people like the officers+. The ore name is also Latin and seems to translate to mean 'invincible': https://www.indifferentlanguages.com/translate/latin-english/invictum
This part to be discussed separately: (Although I'm personally going for Aetherium, to add I feel that next tier of ore might have either Armadylean or Saradominist origins however. It feels like the same metal used to forge the godsword blades before enchantment by their appearance/strength."
