Seasilk

Seasilk is a rare fabric derived from a number of mollusc species native to the Great Sea (in particular a giant species of pen shell found predominantly in warmer surface reefs), most commonly associated with the Naga and with extremely infrequent 'tame Murloc' trade parties. Extraordinarily light and strong, on land it is almost exclusively seen in the form of garments for the aristocracies of the kingdoms of Azeroth, Kul Tiras and Quel'thalas where its unique transperancy and golden lustre make it both aesthetically pleasing (especially in the form of women's shawls) and a status symbol coupled with its rarity. It has also been utilized in one extremely costly instance to create a bullet-proof vest for an unidentified merchant-lord of the Pan-Azeroth League.
It is also known, from historical record and memory, to have been a frequent material of favour in the court of Azshara - who reportedly wore many gowns made entirely of the sheer and exotic fabric to highlight her sheer status and wealth. That it remains strongly associated with the Naga upper class today is perhaps an echo of this ancient fondness and practice. Among the Kaldorei, however, it has largely been supplanted by Nightsilk, the product of a species of spider found largely in Ashenvale.
