Lore:Skinmail

Skinmail is an armor of myth and legend created via decades worth of attentive work in both alchemy and enchantment to produce. They are the result of vials of experimental liquids which upon contact with skin, will harden it and produce plate-like coverings to the wearer's liking. Skinmail was created by an Altmer alchemist, who performed profane experiments on live subjects to reach the results they desired.
