Carapace of Dancing Shadows Description

This armor is of unusual make, the entire frontmost plate not comprised of any mineral- not mithril, not bluesteel, and not arcanium- but made entirely out of the carapace of some kind of large insect. It adds a lightness and durability that otherwise might not be achieved in metal alone. All of the fore has been etched in twisting, curling designs of smoky shadows that have been filled in with thin, rivulets of Nyeshk.

The rest of the plating is comprised of true arcanium, dyed deep black where it connects with the etched carapace and fading into the metal's more natural, true green as it trails away from the piece. Colors have been carefully blended and it's hard to tell where the black truly ends and the more natural emerald hue begins.

An offset of shades between pale chitin and pitch black metal give this armor an ominous and foreboding feeling to those that behold it; it invokes a fear that is latent in all creatures, fear of the dark and twisting unknown that lies just beyond the edge of the light. On its interior, dyed in deep red, is an etched letter 'W' hidden just out of sight.
