A form of thinaun processed for use in armor, it prevents creatures from having their soul removed, but also prevents travel to the afterlife if the creature perishes. Thinaun is a glittering dark steel, typically formed into weapons for their soul stealing properties. However as armor, its cost has been prohibitive until someone took the shavings from the weapon forging, treating them alchemically, and turned it into an asbestos-like fabric held within a flexible gel-like medium. This is layered between fabric to produce thinaun fabric that can replace any cloth or leather material in armor, or used as the underpadding for metal armor. Thinaun fabric often has a center "knot" where the threads intertwine, and where the soul ends up if a soul has been imbued within.
Cloth or leather armor which is made into thinaun fabric locks the soul of its wearer in place, rendering immune to soul-transferring effects.
If the wearer dies, their soul is embedded within the knot in the armor rather than passing on to its final reward. The soul remains in the thinaun armor until the armor is destroyed or another creature dies while touching (or wearing) the thinaun armor (the new soul displaces the old one).
