Illustrious Book of Wood Elven Culture  

 

Text of book reads:

Unlike most forms of armor, wood elven armor relies not on the strength of its materials but instead upon the skill and dexterity of its wearer. Characterized by gentle, flowing angles and light-weight designs, wood elven armor is shaped to deflect blows rather than absorb them. A skilled wood elven veteran knows how to position himself and twist the incoming strikes to maximize the armor's defensive abilities. For this reason, artisans often scribe wood elven armor with symbols that resonate with a warrior's natural skill, enabling him to detect incoming threats and move accordingly.
