Alternate Materials: Cloth

  • Cotton, Linen, Wool, etc.: Clothing across the realm comes in many types, from warm wool jackets, to fine cotton brocade, to even the simplest of burlap tunics.
  • Silk: Farmed from the esteemed silk worms of Niondel, this valuable, if somewhat rare, material is highly favored for its luxorious feel and durability.
  • Gossamer: A magically enhanced thread harvested from spider webs in the underworld, it is extremely lightweight and strong. Its crafting is fiercely guarded by the Drow elves, though a few pieces have made their way to the surface realms.
  • Silksteel: Regular silk cloth enchanted to be as strong as steel, it is worn by nobles and elites for non-obvious protection. It can only be found by request from the Elven Silk Lords.
  • Spellweave: This potent magical cloth is highly sought after by magic users the realms over for its ability to help them attune to the subtle nature of magic, and the veil. Its crafting is known only by members of the church of Enchantra.
  • Organium: A living, symbiotic fungus that forms ropy threads, it can be crafted - with difficulty - into clothing that bonds with the wearer, greatly enhancing their own physical abilities. Once worn, however, it cannot be removed without destroying the cloth, and causing severe injury and pain.
  • Fireskein: Taken from denizens of the Elemental Plane of Fire, this inherently magical cloth is naturally resistant to fire, and enhances all fire effects when worn.
  • Stormthread: Harvested from the mighty thunderheads on the Elemental Plane of Air, this rare cloth is naturally imbued with resistance to electricity, and enhances all electricity effects.
  • Astral Thread: The githyanki craft this magical thread from the severed silver cords of travelers slain on the Astral plane. Also known as Fatethread, or Silverthread, it has many magical properties.
  • Shadowthread: Formed from shadowstuff from the Plane of Shadow, this dark, nebulous material barely has any substance, yet makes for a strong, and magical, cloth.
  • Tempestskein: This weave of Fireskein and Stormthread is very rare, and very valuable.
  • Planar Weave: Formed from the very stuff of creation, from the farthest and wildest reaches of the Outer Planes, Planar Weave is that which only the greatest of deities wear. It has many magical properties.
