Negerith is a pale, diaphanous fabric that drapes like mist, its faint lavender-grey hues seeming to fade in and out of sight as the light shifts. The cloth is astonishingly fine, flowing in soft folds that appear weightless. In dim illumination, its threads catch a subtle shimmer, giving the impression that the fabric is part smoke, part substance.
Too delicate for battle or manual labor, negerith is favored in quieter realms. It resists fraying and repels ink, making it a preferred textile in libraries, studies, and lecture halls.
Negerith is woven from the silk of lore-spinners, a species of spider bred by the House of the Ivory Scroll. These spiders dwell in the vaults beneath the House's libraries, where they spin gossamer webs in silence. Scholars claim the creatures feed on thought itself and that their silk lends clarity and focus to those who study.
Etymology: from Gerenshuge negeri (spider)
First appeared during Hollow Eve Festival 454.
Common Description
The diaphanous fabric drapes like mist, its lavender-grey folds so fine they seem to hover between air and substance.
Alteration Rules
This material is required for alterations.
This fabric is too delicate for armor, even as decoration, and unsuitable for items that endure stress. Its natural resistance to ink prevents dyeing. Negerith appears only in pale twilit hues — greyed shades of lavender and blue.
