Description: A two part piece of chain mail covering the upper chest and the areas around the hips, but leaving abdomen and legs almost entirely unprotected. The links of the chainmail are of exquisite craftmanship and the fabric of the mail almost feels as soft as cloth while still giving good protection to the small parts of the body actually getting covered.

Ancient History: This Armour design is characteristic of the Amazon tribes of the Bikh-Inih Islands and indeed it is on occasion referred to as Bikh-Inih chainmail. Given its almost complete lack of protection in battle, the Amazons got themselves almost extinct in warfare before giving up on this design and decided to move on to something that actually worked. If you see it today it is almost always used for ceremonial purposes, in arena fighting or in traveling Carnival Shows.

This particular piece of armour actually dates back to the days when they were were used in battle as can be seen on the quality of the mail fabric. But it has since come to be used in sacrificial ceremonies and to increase attendance to temple services.

Recent History: The adventurer Belras captured it from a monster he slew in Gihalcert. Either the monsters have practises humans better not think too much about or some nearby temple must have been raided.
