The term shadarl was coined to resemble erithi mummery, the shi'hadara, and shadarl is a leather-like material to be used in leather-based armors. Its creation is a closely kept secret, but a bit more on its history will be forthcoming later.

Black as pitch, shadarl has the unusual property of absorbing both light and sound. While this absorption is not complete, it is enough to grant a stealthy adventurer an edge over his prey, improving the wearer's Stalking and Hiding ranks by +40. One unfortunate side effect of this is that shadarl often disrupts spellcasting by absorbing words and sound before they even leave the wearer's mouth. This results in a 1% increase to spell hindrance.
