"The secrets of my people were not meant to be shared in trade, but I suppose that is the price we pay for commiserating with the common folk."

Description

A heavy armor for elven warriors, but still very light by anyone else's standards, these well polished breastplates gleam in the sun, and appear to be made of silver, but are actually finely worked steel. As is typical for elven workmanship, these armors are covered in intricate leaf and woodland patterns

Lore

Another lost secret of the old elves, these armors once belonged to elite elven infantry in the struggle for control of the material plane. Once the battle was decided for the most part, the old elves began to leave but these articles of the past remained behind. Over the years these uniquely crafted armors have spread throughout the world.
