List of alternative armor names

This is an official list of existing alternative names for armor, provided by APM Wyrom 12 Sep 2015 as a part of Hot Summer Nights 2015. Note: To help remove ambiguity, a new naming convention converting Soft Leather armor to Leather armor, and Hard Leather armor to Scale has been implemented.
