| The description
of it from the Alleycatscratch
website
sounds very much like what us seen worn around the neck. "The armor "skirt" looks like a below-the-knee scale mail hauberk split for riding, but it's thousands of fingernail-sized pieces of silver leather patterned like fine lizardskin and sewn to a backing." New pictures Lalaith has provided allow a comparison of the neck and the skirt. They are the same! See the skirt on it's own page. |
