Description

These hide armors look crudely made at first, but a closer inspection will reveal that the material has been well treated, almost impossibly so. While the lacing of the hide plates is somewhat crude, the armor is almost as resilient as steel.

Lore

Crafted by barbarian shamans for their strongest tribal defenders, these hide armors are among the few magical creations of the savage tribes, as life in the wilds is harsh, and resources are few. Regardless of that, the development of these armors along with their unique defenses has garnered some attention from more urban cultures, which has opened up trade somewhat.
