Description

This padded arming jacket takes its name from its pale colour, rather than from any use of ivory in it's construction. While the outer layers are thick cotton, it is padded inside with multiple layers of delicate silk. When the wearer is seriously injured, the silk serves to staunch the flow of blood, helped preserve life - at least for a time.

In the Brass Coast this armour is more commonly called an ashwine aketon, in honour of Gilda Ashwine, an Exemplar of Courage whose unyielding determination to see justice served they see reflected in the dogged refusal of the wearer to let death take them. It is worth noting, however, that an ashwine aketon is usually dyed a pale golden-yellow colour as part of the creation process, for few people wealthy enough to afford one are inclined to wear white armour.

Rules

  • Form: Light Armour. Despite the name any light armour can be an ivory aketon.
  • Effect: While wearing this armour you gain three additional ranks in the fortitude skill.
  • Materials: Crafting an ivory aketon requires eleven measures of ambergelt, nine ingots of weltsilver and seven measures of beggar's lye. It takes one month to make one of these items.
