Description
"Noted dwarven smith Hedda Perigot crafted this suit of armor in response to a challenge. Fellow smiths discussed their disdain of working with non-metal or stone materials at the tavern one night, and Hedda bragged that she had no such difficulties. The smiths challenged her to create a hybrid suit of half-metal, half-armor. Hedda set to work making the lightest, most flexible steel plates she could and affixing them to a well-made leather breastplate. The result was a shimmering suit of splint mail that weighed less than a normal suit and proved most useful against slashing attacks. Hedda won the bet, and free drinks for a month."
