Khajiiti Arms and Armor

For a race living in the oppressively hot climate of Elsweyr, it is impractical in most cases for them to wear heavy clothing and armor, and the Cat-Folk's naturally lithe frame and dexterity favors more lightweight protection. The Khajiiti abhor restraint and encumbrance, and their craftsfolk are diligent about providing armor to augment their prowling form. At its lightest, Khajiiti armor is often mistkane for well-appointed (but flamboyant) clothing. Quilted or padded cloth dorns the midriff and vital areas. This is augmented with vivid patterns of color and accented with a loose shawl, ribbons, or trinkets - an outfit that would result in mocking insults if worn by a race less decadent and hedonistic.
For battles where the Khajiit expects punishment, they favor cloth and leather graves, gauntlets, and a light helmet, this allows for supremely agile movement without sacrificing speed (or fashion).
For this race of acrobats, even the heaviest Khajiiti armor is loose-fiitting but actually has lacquered metal plates laced together with leather, under which is an embroidered tunic, completed with a helmet of fluted silver and durable linene. It is only under the must harrowing of conditions that the Khajiit will don full battle armor.
As for weaponry, curved scimitars, sabers and knives, or punch daggers serve as an elongation of their own slashing, clawed hands. Occasionally these claw shapes extend to ritual tridents and the savage points on their longbow arrows or javelins.
