Description
Plates of elven bone marked with Velothi patterns and mounted atop layers of dark netch leather. The underlying folds are tattooed with Daedric prayers to the Seven - expressing love, defiance, and hate in equal measure.

The pragmatism of Ashlander life often conceals ingenuity and rich symbolism. For example, this mantle is draped with tough, fire-resistant blightmoth silk and adorned with alit fangs and precious stones.

The primeval skull of a clannfear bound to the shoulder by thick twine and branded with rust-red Daedric runes.

Item Type
Greaves - Medium Armor
Not Enchanted
Description
A tough kilt of netch hide and reinforced reptile bone. The ancestral Velothi patterns are unbroken where they meet the armor, expressing the Ashlander belief that family and lineage connect all existence.

Ashkhan Tower Shield
Item Type
Tower Shield - Light Armor
Not Enchanted
Description
Both bastion and ancestral idol, this Ashlander shield shines with iridescent shalk elytra. Wise Women liken its sheen to the eternally frozen Tear of Veloth, shed at the end of his exodus.
Honor the Ashkhan, forger of paths.
Heed the Truthkeeper, weaver of song.
Hail the Stranger, who knows not the way,
Yet traces the footsteps of Moon-and-Star.
- Footprints in Ash
