The mithril was laced with blood they say, each piece, the blood of a demon and a fresh babe. Some say it was adamantine, but nobody really knows. They supposedly would claim the young and do unspeakable things to their families so that they could quench these items in the tears rendered from the loss of innocence. The stories say many things, but the only thing they know for sure is that the way was lost, either intentionally or otherwise.
They called it Crookweave, to fine to make plate from, but chainmail and jewelry, this was its place.
(( These Crookweave items will be found in the hardest areas, fighting the strongest of foes, and only on Extreme Mode. The odds that you get a piece of history are rare, but it is possible. If you should find yourself with one of these items, treasure it. These items will not modify at any forge, legendary or otherwise. These items will only be able to be worn by a player character of ER3 or higher acclaim. ))
