Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arravis" data-source="post: 202760" data-attributes="member: 327">Well... a quick bit of background. I'm one of the two dm's (when one plays, the other DM's) in our campaign, which is now pretty high level (19th). Anyway, the plot (done by the other DM) brought us to Ancient Netheril (in the Shadowed Age). Anyway... one thing that our group seems to enjoy considerably is shopping (something the girls in our group dearly love, lol). So, I've been compiling a list of exotic items that our group might not have access to in their own time, but nothing based on Mythlar magics (the magics that power most magical items and the floating cities, that will soon go kaput as well). I will say, that some of this stuff is ripped off from Talistlanta, but hey, what's the point of having that resource if you don't use it, hehe. Anyway, I'd thought I'd share what I have so far for your enjoyment and suggestions of further items... so here goes. (this will likely take several posts)Karsus Enclave Items:Clothing:Exotic Materials:Gossamer: The finest of all the Netherese fabrics, gossamer is translucent, nearly weightless, and feathery soft. It is too delicate for use by any but the least physically-inclined individuals, and so is considered a luxury item. The fabric is made by a complex method involving spidersilk, dandelion down, and magical cloud essences. 25gp/sq yard.Spinifax: Spinifax is a drow cloth, made from the flax of the thistledown plant that grows in humid areas of the underdark near the surface. It is noted throughout ancient Faerun for it's fine quality, softness and durability. 10gp/sq yard.Mandalan Silkcloth: A very fine variety of silk, this luxurious fabric is made only by the Mandalan's of southern Netheril. It is much in vogue with the nobility of the flying cities. As such, items made of Mandalan Silkcloth can cost more then ten times as much as comparable goods made of less exotic materials. The cloth derived from the silken fibers produced by the Mandalan silk moth, the color of the moth's wings being indicative of the color of the thread that it is capable of spinning. 4gp/sq yard.Exomorph Cloak: This cloak seems to consist of a short-haired black and grey zebra pattern fur, but when the wearer stops moving, the properties of the fur become apparent. The pattern on the cloak begins to mimic the surroundings. This grants a +4 circumstantial bonus to hide checks. The great hunting cats, exomorph's, were driven to extinction due to demand for their fur. No magic's have been found to recreate this race. The cloaks are considered quite valuable and a sign of great wealth and status among the Netherese. These cloaks are not magical and often have additional enchantments placed on them once purchased. 1,500 gp.Szur: This is a mid-calf coat of Mandalan Silkcloth that is worn over the shoulders as a cape and lavishly embroidered with silver and gold thread on each front panel. The right panel depicts the battle between Mystara and Shar; the left panel depicts the discovery of the Netheril scrolls by Nether the Elder. It is available in royal purple, rich brown, midnight black, burgundy red, deep green and white. 350 gp.Panel Coat: This ankle length broad shouldered coat is made up of many pleats of varying cloths and shades of one color. It is a new design that is difficult to reproduce and stitch, but seems popular with some nobles and adventurers. It is comprised of Mandalan Silkcloth, Spinifax, cotton, suede leather, and velvet. It is available in black, dark blue, light blue, burgundy, beige, dark brown, forest green, purple, fiery red, and grey. 180 gp.Spinifax Baladrana: This is a full, wide hooded cloak that wraps around the body (i.e.: poncho), used often to protect against the rain. It's so large, it can easily be warn over another cloak. The Spinifax has been treated with a water-proofing oil that keeps the wearer dry. Spinifax is light and durable, compacting to a small size when folded, so the baladrana can easily be placed within a pocket or satchel when not needed. 100 gpMandalan Silkcloth Shirt: Gathered yoke shirt with sleeves sans cuffs, deep v-necked opening, and no collar.  Available in Black, Red, Forest Green, Teal, Blue, Brown, and Beige. 15 gp.Ornamental Baldric: This article of clothing is usually slung around the body from one shoulder to the opposite hip and is used to carry a weapon or other item. This Baldric is dark brown, decorated with silver-thread tassels and embroidered with a green ivy pattern. 15 gpAba: This is a traditional desert robe from the far east, simple and flowing in design. The material is a aerie-cotton like substance. 10 gp.Tunic: This cotton tunic is velvet flocked, features a black velvet Mandarin collar, lace-up neckline, short sleeves and thigh length hem with front slit for easy movement.

A gold or silver thread repeating pattern on the silk interior shows subtlety through the gossamer exterior. This is the finest is Netheril fashion for a stately evening. Available in burgundy, rich black, royal purple, dark blue or emerald green. 850 gp.Traditional Netherese Court Dress: This dress is comprised of a gossamer tunic, over which is worn a long full length Mandalan Silkcloth dress gathered above the waist by a silk girdle.
