Chiton



Chiton, also spelled Chitin, is a light, durable material used by the Octa to forge their famous armors, lances, arrows, shields and even jewelry. Found only on a large and long lived crustacean which dwells on the basin of Lake Haven, the Octa were for centuries the only people with access to the material, but as trade opened further with the terrestrial races, Chiton made items became a major export. Physically, Chiton is a pearlescent material the colors of a sunset; hues of pink, orange, and even deep blue’s make Chiton armor and jewelry particularly sought after. It is surprisingly light and durable, most likely as a result of being exposed to the pressure of Lake Haven’s basin for decades.

The largest market for Chiton products comes out of Merling seaport.
