Byrus Cloth

A few decades ago artificers invented a process to treat silk so that it became incredibly strong. When properly enchsnted the new material was capable of resisting being damaged by arrows, crossbow bolts, and daggers. Most often used in clothing for high ranking members of society, protective gear for workers in dangerous spaces, concealable armor, and resilient bagging.

History & Usage

Discovery

A group of artificers were tasked by a fashion guru to create a magical fabric that was lighter than air, and while the end product was far from lighter than air the material created was extremely durable and resilient to damage. The artificers made a ton of gold off of their invention, although the blueprints have been since made public domain when the artificers were found dead in their homes in 133 PS.
