I view it being a different Elvish Alloy (possibly Elvish Bronze?) that would definitely be weaker than Elvish Steel. I think only an elite select would wear this Advanced Avari Armor, like captains and high-up warriors, but that's just my views. Also, I will say I love the Tannery idea, very good and sensible.

And perhaps about half of the Avari draughts would be doable with Ent Jars, while the other half would require Brewing to make.

And what if there were two types of Amber, the lighter amber which is refined from a special Wild Woods tree (High King Ithilion inspired), and so would be specific to the Avari, and the slightly darker underground type, which would follow your idea of being for both Avari and Wood-Elf. Both could be carvable and makable into slabs, but not made into stairs or walls.

Just my two-cents, would love your thoughts. An elvish form of bronze would be nice, such as Elven Bronze as you suggested. However, you'd have to be specific about it were you to suggest it yourself. So what type of material goes into making it, what the recipe is, what the uses are, etc.

Perhaps the name for the advanced Avarin armor you spoke of could be "Chosen Avari armor", to relate to how it is worn by the hand-picked "noble" warriors of the tribe. It would most certainly be made of metal then, as you need to protect your finest.

Thank you for the compliment. I remembered tanneries and how they were one of the most important things a Bronze Age civilization had, and indeed continue to be important.

I don't know how that might be accomplished, but Mevans has his ways.

A special Wild Woods tree... Hmm... I did like Ithilion's Amber idea, and I like this one. There is a slight problem, though. If one biome has one type, and yet the other biome has both, it should be split. So the Wood-elves would get the underground amber(being dwellers of caves) and the Avari would get the tree amber(not being as advanced in mining and wandering wild and free).

Again, thank you.
