Glamourweave Robe
Description
These fine robes are made of the finest cloth woven with threads gold, silver, mithril and orichalcum. The robes are most often dyed with a vibrant and delicate combination of green iron ore and iridescent gloaming, leaving the cloth with a viridian, cerulean or deep umber tone, decorated with copper-and-green-iron alloy wire. The intent is usually to impress onlookers, and to grant a confidence and sense of pride to the wearer. They are very popular in Dawn, Urizen and Highguard, places where magicians are likely to fight in close proximity to warriors. On a battlefield the robes are often worn over or beneath a suit of mage armour.
The robes are often embroidered with runes such as Zorech, Feresh or Tykonus, although robes intended for an enchanter or a general are likely to include the runes Hirmok. In Urizen, the rune Lann is most often used on these robes, representing a notional bargain between the magician and the sentinels who work with him - they will protect and support the magician and in return the magician uses his magic to protect and support the sentinels..
Symbols of Pride and Courage are often included on these robes, especially when they are worn by Highborn magisters or priests with a mastery of magical lore.
