Fabric

Armure

A heavy fabric woven with a small interlaced chainmail-like design. Though the material is currently a very light grey, the threads look like they would hold any color of dye.

Bloodlace

This lace has a silvery sheen that remains no matter what color it's dyed, and is delicate to the touch. It gets its name from its curing technique, which involves soaking it in blood to improve its texture.

LOOK: Spun from silken fibers, the thread has an almost translucent quality with a silvery sheen that remains no matter what color it's dyed. When tatted, the medium weight lace is exceptionally soft and appears delicate but tugging shows it's very durable.

Imperial Weave

A relic of a long gone age, Imperial weave is everything a fabric could aspire to; durable, light weight, and resistant to dirt and rot, which is fortunate given that the methods of creation have long since been lost and the only supply comes from scraps found in long forgotten ruins of the Seven Star Empire. One of the greatest treasures found in Throne City during its reclamation was an entire storehouse filled with the cloth, though the horde was quickly claimed and concealed by the Moon Mage Guild. The cloth has been found in a wide variety of colors and patterns, though the few people brave enough to try to bleach or dye it have had no success.
