Chain mail is an armor formed of small, interlocking loops of metal. It looks like someone forgot to oil the rings, or maybe left it out in the rain because rust has begun to form in the armpits and under the collars.

(of Recovery, +15 Speed, +15 Accuracy, Elven) Elven chainmail was more common before the wars against the humans and the goblins. Centuries of combat combined with the degradation of armorsmithing skills have reduced the number of sets of Elven Chainmail to almost none. The effect of using lighter materials and custom designing the armor to only fit elves grants the wearer more freedom of movement, allowing faster, more accurate attacks.

A very rare suit of armor turned out by the Heavenly Forges of Governor Padish before the Silence. The armor was originally worn strictly by the Governor's highest military officers as a badge of office. It is not just for show; this chain mail is lighter, stronger, and more supple than any other chain in the world.

(Half damage from missile attacks, +10 to all statistics) Owned by Colonial Governor Padish at the Time of the Silence, this fantastic armor has resurfaced in many of the great treasure hoardes throughout history. Like most creations turned out by the Heavenly Forge, it is nearly indestructible, and its like can no longer be made by any forge in the land.

(Stealing skill +5, Disarm skill +5, Water Walking, Luck +50, All Resistances -10)This leather armor was specially built by the Regnan armory for Hareck the First, Lord of Regna, and Emperor of the Endless Ocean. The armor did everything a glorified pirate like Hareck could hope for, except protect him from poison. The mighty first Emperor of Regna died just after dinner while wearing the armor, poisoned by his wife's hand.

Leather armor is the lightest and most easily worn armor, but it offers less protection that the heavier armors. The leather in this suit was improperly cured and still stinks of the chemicals used in its production.

A suit of armor so fine could only have come from the forge of the Master himself--Mekorig the Blind. Indeed, this one bears the initials of his son, Kasev Mekorig near the heel. The joints move easily, and the metal has a curious triple plated construction that makes it thin and light, yet incredibly strong. Padding in comfortable, too.

(Immunity to disease, insanity, paralysis, poison, sleep, and stone conditions, Endurance +25) Named after its owner and creator, Yoruba is an extremely tough, magic resistant suit of plate mail. Because of the armor's prohibitive expense, it was built in piecemeal fashion--and it shows. Different pieces are made of different materials, with the most expensive ones in the breastplate. There are two puncture holes in the breastplate that the original owner never repaired, possibly for sentimental reasons.
