[MR] Mantlings, not Mantles.

[jbrmm266 at aol.com]

The drapery on a helm is conventionally called a mantling, and it is singular.? A torse might be worn without a mantling, but a mantling is hardly ever worn without a torse.? Such a torse, for Atlantia, would be blue and white.



YSA, Donal

And, they look cool.  :)

Question...

If I have a torse and mantle on my helm, is it refered
to as torse and mantle, or torse and mantling.

Is Mantling plural or singular?
