Scorpin-silk gambeson

Scorpin-silk gambesons are padded jackets quilted from up to thirty layers of scorpin-silk fabric. The inside is stuffed with a special silk hardened with a mix of tree resin and rabbit glue.

Most arrows that come in contact with the scorpin-silk armour just bounce off it and those that do manage to pierce the skin get wrapped in a layer of fine silk which makes them easy to gently remove without further damaging the body.

One of the major weaknesses of this armour however is that it is highly flammable because of the scorpin-silk it is made out of. This has made the usage of fire arrows against armies wearing this armour highly effective because the arrow doesn't draw any blood which would sometimes douse the flames.
