Slayer Dragon Garb

The traditional Slayer Dragon Regalia, most commonly reffered to simply as garb, evolved durring the Golden Age of the Slayer Dragons, between A.Y. 1302-1998 in the Golden Age, and changed little through the Ages that followed.

The garb is a sort of uniform, though tailored and altered so as to be unique to each Slayer Dragon, and consists of a combination of cloth, armor plates, chainmail, and even dragon skin. Some may also include animal furs and even bones, depending on the style and tastes of the individual wearer.

Use

Despite appearing highly ornate, the garb also serves as fully-functional battle armor. The garb is not ceremonial, but is in fact the day-to-day uniform of the Slayer Dragon.

Construction

Armor Plating

The armor worn by the Slayer Dragons has remained consistent in appearance, but not in material. Early Slayer Dragons had access to potent magical materials such as Adamantium for their armor. In around the early Third Age Adamantium became to costly, and Slayer Dragons ahd to switch to alloys. By the end of the Third Age it was to rare all together.

Throughout the Fourth Age, the highest quality and most durable steel available was utilized. Constant efforts were made to develop new and stronger materials, until around the begining of the Fifth Age when the first Titanium and Tungsten versions were produced. These were often mixed with silver to allow for enchantments.

Armor Enchantment

While always forged of the finest materials by the most skilled master craftsmen the [{Alliance]] had to offer, the final phase of any Slayer Dragon's armor was left to the enchanters. Runes of protection and strength are carefully etched into every peice, with specialized enchantments made to aid the wearer in his or her specific style of combat.

Chainmail

Like the rest of the regalia, the chainmail is of the highest quality. Usually very small rings are used to create lightweight mail suitable for everyday wear. Since around the Third Age the trend has moved away from functional chainmail in favor of ornamental, though there are notable exceptions. In some cases, a second, heavier, more protective set of chainmail may be created but not worn as part of the regular outfit.

Dragon Skin

The dragon skin used is shed skin donated by the High Mountain Flight, which is then layered, woven, and sewn together so as give the appearance of tanned hide. This layering method produces a material that is stronger and more durable than tanned dragon hide, which is widely thought to be superior to shed skin.

The layering technique practiced by the tailors at Arindell is a guarded secret, though it is unlikely anyone else can obtain much shed dragon skin.
