The protective Carapace armor is woven from the discarded exoskeletons of diverse advanced or cognizant insects dwelling within the Hive region. These Hive Husks serve as the raw material for crafting this durable form of armor.
The manufacturing process entails treating the hive husks with Urgunn sap and then shaping the plates to form a suit of armor. This is a labor-intensive process involving the use of separators and strings to stretch the armor and hold it into shape while it is naturally cooked under the rays of Khâls Forge. After several weeks of drying, approximately 65% of the time, a robust suit of armor is produced. Regrettably, the remaining 35% of the time, the armor fails to set, rendering it brittle and prone to disintegrating into fine dust with the slightest touch.
The Ba'lith empire serves as the primary source for this specialized form of armor.
