#elf world

The heaviest armor, goes to the Fire Tribe. Their armor is capable of withstanding the extreme heat Fire Elves are capable of producing. Due to their considerable strength, it’s no issue but good luck to whoever tries to touch them after they’ve been fired up for awhile. It’s heavy but form fitting, to protect the wearer. 

Second heaviest, goes to Water Tribe elves, namely their deep sea armor, thick and meant to protect against bites from creatures such as Water Horses or sea serpents. They can breathe underwater and live primarily in the sea so their armor when in combat has to be able to withstand the pressure. There’s also decompression valves on most of their armor, to release pressure from being under the deepest parts of the sea for so long. They also use channels that hold illuminated crystals to mimic the creatures that live within the darkest areas to protect themselves from predators.

Lightest armor, goes to Sky Tribe members, with their abilities to literally walk on air or float in place, heavy armor does them no good in combat and would hinder their abilities. They do better with lighter armor, more heavily focused on under armor beneath it, in particular chain mail and arm guards.

Second lightest is Earth Tribe elves. While they’re not afraid to put on heavier armor for combat, a hunter from the Earth tribe, primarily has some type of under armor under their tunics to minimize damage, arm guards,and their boots during hunts. If they’re meant to go into combat, the armor will still be made to attribute to this. Form fitting, but still able to allow the elf in question to summon their connection to the Earth. Some like to have channels that with a spell tag from the Sky Tribe will fire a burst of air from their gauntlets to release seed pods that can then be used to wrap up their opponents.

Light Tribe Elves, generally have under armor almost exclusively, many members train in combat in addition to healing as it goes hand in hand and be capable of defending themselves. Sometimes they’ll use heavier armor, but it depends on the warrior.

Dark Tribe members, will either used forged armor… Or use the magic they produce themselves, to create armor out of energy and magic that can withstand extreme damage. However, there is a draw back to energy produced armor as it drains the fighters energy and is basically on a timer. Generally, only those in the Dark Tribe who have interest in becoming full on warriors or hunters will use the energy armor.
