A segmented shell of pale synth-chitin harvested from a creature that never died — only forgot it was alive.
The carapace learns. Each time it absorbs a significant blow, synaptic filaments beneath the surface realign to distribute future impacts of the same type. A wearer who has fought the same enemy twice feels the armor subtly shift before the third strike lands — granting an asset on Might defense rolls against that specific source until the next rest. The armor communicates nothing in words, only in pressure and warmth.
