Flameweave Frock
A conservative, but stylishly-cut black dress, imbued with Flameweave thread. Nuala crafted it for Dalia using materials found in the Halls of Kron.
It is primarily crafted of fine wool, resilient and warm, but soft to the touch. It is conservative of design, lacking bright colors, and revealing little, though it is sleeveless, as Dalia's previous frocks often caught fire at the sleeve. It is cut only to just below the knee, as any lower would not permit rapid movement, a necessity in battle. (Nuala recommends long boots)
Woven subtlely into the fabric is a thread of Flameweave, hardly a tenth part of the whole, but an integral part of the fabric. Under normal circumstances, it has no effect on the dress's appearance, but when Dalia channels fire, it glows, revealing the embroidered imagery--symbols of the True Flame, blazing against the black.
Otherwise, the only extravagance of its design is the satin belt and 2 brass buttons at the shoulder.
