One of the most feared and tactically frustrating elements of warfare with the Ys is the plethora of methods the Ys have for taking to the air: Demons, self given wings, elementals, enchanted chariots, and so forth. While the Ys rarely mass an entire force of such ariel attacks, this was what made the normally invincible Plannequin vulenerable to conquest. In fact, larger Ys war vessels resemble in a way modern aircraft carriers--agatae or similair creatures carrying Ys marines and princes into battle....

To each their own--While artifacts superseding their component materials makes sense (except maybe the silent tag), my logic was in the stat say "+2 Hardness"--a nitpick, but no mortal armor has hardness. Regardless, I feel an outfit of sufficent size should count as heavy armor if made of silk from hell itself. We already know Brocade Armor is possible from the Elite Infantry statisitc (which has soak 10...so either all elites have 5 Stamina and this enchanted brocade made by thautmurgy does nothing, or it's heavy armor)...

Its improtant to note that 2e didn't invent SMAs--they existed in 1e (both before my time). Having read them once or twice, none of them seemed...concepts that are inherently determental to balance....

Primarily, imho, it negates things like DB's anima flux without attunement. If you made an artifact heavy plate out of it (A ball gown of hell silk) it would have Hardness 12--meaning you would need 12 iniative to hurt the person with a decisive attack....

I had an imprisoned Lesser Dragon of Air, the Thunder King--he had eaten the red lighting of Hegra during the Divine Revolution and thus was prone to outbursts and rage. So he was bound until a cure could be found, and as penance for his rampages along the Dreaming Sea....

Given its emphasis on elegance and vast expendtiure of weatlth, Dreaming Pearl Courtesean, Silver Voiced Nightingale, and Crane are extremely common styles of Martial Arts in Ysyr--and it is rare for a sorcerer-stylist to not wear hellsilk robes or the equivalent into battle. This has given the Martial Arts schools of Ys a reputation for exceptionally durable and yappy stylists.

These should be based on the Solars personality and deeds—they are the Solars Essence made a weapon or armor. A blood thirsty Zentig might have a blade that drives others into a frenzy, a wise Dawn might have armor that predicts enemy attacks, etc...
