Plus, she's hotter than Mialee will ever be. 
Elvish chain is beautiful.

Mialee doesn't look that strong either.

In the game I play in, Mithral is a fantastically rare mineral found underground. The Dwarves mine it, but other races avoid it, for it has some very strange properties. It can only me smelted and forged using special Elven techniques, which the Dwarves grudgingly utelize, for Mithral gives off an Anti-Magic field. When crafted into Armor, this amazingly light metal provides it's wearer with Spell Resistance. The downside, however, is that the armor must be removed for the owner to recieve beneficial spells; there is no way to turn the effect off. Mithral items, logically, can never be enchanted. (As far as we know!) The Dwarves trade Mithral to the Elves, one of the few contacts they have with them.
Adamantine is different, too. It can be found all over the surface of the planet, however, it has a strong reaction to sunlight, crumbling to a worthless rust-like black dust. Adamantine deep in the earth is an amazingly strong metal, practically requiring magical means of smelting and forging. Adamantine has a hardness of 20, weighs 1/4 as much as steel, and holds a keen edge almost indefinately. An Adamantine blade cuts through stone and steel as easily as through flesh and bone, ignoring hardness under 20. The Black Elves have control of the only forges capable of producing Adamantine, a fact that has caused unending war under the mountains with the Dwarven nation.

It isn't there, and wasn't when I got it last year, either. I just sent Todd an e-mail, complimenting him on the piece, and asking if it would be possible to get a print of it. He wrote back, and gave me the details. Very reasonably priced, too.
yoippari said:I like the picture but I dont like the design of the mail. Unless that is some very funky weave there is no way she could ever take that off, espescially with that stiff collar. And a woman not being able to take off her shirt is just wrong.
Two words: elvish Velcro.

Nice pic. horrorable armor. Why do you have a flap hanging down pass your knees. If it mail it going to get in the way. Or does she reach down and tuck under and up like a loincloth?Klaus said:
Now the lockwood armour. Nice metal look but why do you have metal tippets on the sleeves. What good are they? The skirt does not look like you could move forward to much in it.
Jasper who pet peeve about armour which looks cool but would not work in real life is barking and scratching.

Probably because her greaves only come to just under the knee. You don't want to leave the joint completely vulnerable, do you?
There's a technique used by the Greeks (and later taken by the Norse) for knitting wire called trichinopoly. Normally, it is used to make a sort fo decorative string or cable for jewelry. But I can imagine how in a fantasy world it ccould be adapted to make a sort of cloth...

I like the elven chain. Especially since it isn't one of those ridiculous armours that shows off the cleavage, like Aribeth's armour from Neverwinter Nights, which is probably great for diplomacy but leaves a couple of vulnerable spots vulnerable (which is exactly what armour shouldn't do).
That's gorgeous!

Look what I circled in red. The flap of mail is too small in width to protect her legs even if she stood at attention. And if you made it wider it would have be very wide to protect her legs due to split being at her waist. Leggings I thought she was wearing boots and dress slacks.
