Description
Armor wrought from mithral, a silvery alloy lighter and more pliable than steel yet just as resilient. The plates ring with a soft chime when struck and never tarnish, retaining a moonlit gleam even after years in storage. If the armor normally imposes disadvantage on Stealth checks or has a Strength requirement, the mithral version eliminates both drawbacks. Many smiths leave the work plain to showcase the natural luster of the metal, though noble commissions may add etched filigree along the pauldrons and greaves. The armor fits its first wearer perfectly and adjusts when refitted.
