Bloodamber Hauberk
Description
A mithril shirt may also be known as a mithril-coat, a glittermist shirt. Many artisans, especially those creating mithril shirts for use by senators or priests, take especial pains to ensure their work is beautiful and delicate, weaving light rings closely together to create the illusion of silvery cloth or decorating their work with translucent or pale coloured gemstones, carefully shaped pieces of ambergelt, or even small amounts of polished weltsilver-silver alloy. The artefact mithril shirt given as a gift by the Urizen magi of Sunspire to Emperor Giovanni was said to be so encrusted with diamonds and moonstones that it was said to glow when exposed to moonlight, leading to it being called the Starmoon shirt.
When made of leather or other light materials, they are usually called an ambergelt hauberk or ambergelt breastplate. Some Navarr crafters prize red or red-brown ambergelt especially for use when making a suit of this armour, and call the resulting suit a bloodamber jacket of bloodamber breastplate.
