Hide

Hide armor is commonly worn by woodsmen, Glanfathan explorers, and those who favor speed over protection. Hide armor is made of layers of soft leather. Though its construction often requires multiple layers to provide dependable protection, it does little to slow its wearer in combat.

Blaidh Golan (“Wolf Heart”) is said to have been blessed by the Lord of the Hunt himself. A human hunter, showing skill with a bow and arrow beyond any before seen, caught Galawain’s attention one day. Galawain proposed a bargain—if the hunter could best him in a hunting contest, Galawain would present her with armor that would bestow upon her the power of a wolf. For a week, both hunters tracked their respective quarry through the woods and, when the contest was ended, the hunter had felled the most game. True to his word, Galawain presented her with Wolf Heart, which gave her the crafty and evasive nature of its namesake.

A rural Dyrwoodan legend holds that armor crafted from the hide of the nocturnal, secretive skuldr imbues the wearer with preternatural stealth. Determined to best every likeminded fellow to test this superstition before him, one enthusiastic hunter crafted this hide from no fewer than seven skuldrs. Though it is unclear what effect the quantity had, the result is a dark-hued armor that blends undeniably well with the shadows.

A folk tale tells of a stag that could outwit any hunter. The beast would see his enemies approach before they ever came within sight, and outrun them easily, leaving no trail to follow. At last, a great hunter declared that he would be the one to kill the stag, for no quarry had ever eluded him before. The man set out early the next morning, vowing to return triumphant. Neither hunter nor stag, however, were ever seen again. Some claim the hunter succeeded and decided not to return, his prowess proved to the only one that mattered. Some say the hunter fell to a trick, and that the stag fled, seeking lands where it would never again be troubled by hunters.

The crafter of this armor favors one telling of the tale, for the Husk of the Great Stag is said to have been made from that same stag’s hide. Dressed in the stag’s skin, the wearer is granted the beast’s fleet-footed alertness, able to keep one step ahead of hidden dangers.
