Hylian Scout Tunics

__TOC__
The Hylian Scout Tunic variants offer levels of protection between Leather and Scaled Armor, but weigh more than Glass Armor.
All Hylian Scout Tunic variants are Light Armor and cannot be altered to Heavy Armor at an Alteration Table. The suits of Hylian Soldier Armor serve as Heavy Armor alternatives to the tunics. The suits of Hylian Glass Armor serve as stronger versions of the tunics, both in terms of armor rating and enchantments.
Some variants can be dyed to another sleeve color at a Tanning Rack, or in some cases altered to a different chainmail color at a Smithing Forge, though the change is purely aesthetic.
Scout Tunic variants can be made into Ashland Scout Tunics using a Terminan Forge. The change is also purely aesthetic. Guaranteed Ashland Tunics are also found in various locations, accompanied by their respective Enchanted Circlets.
Wearing the appropriate Enchanted Ring with certain tunics will grant additional effects and bonuses.

==Lore==
The Hylian Scout Tunics were worn by members of the Hylian Army during the Last Great War of Hyrule. Soldiers skilled in archery and stealth tended to wear the tunics. The tunics were enchanted to allow scouts and soldiers protection against the magic of the Dark Army.
==Background and Inspiration ==
Most of the tunics were included in a standalone mod before being integrated into Relics of Hyrule. The Eldin, Faron, and Oocca Tunics were added several years after the original set, in version 6.4. These three tunics were originally included to allow for a patch for Elemental Destruction Magic. For the unpatched mod, the tunics were given unused colors (orange, cyan, and gray) and names that completed a trifecta (Lanayru, Eldin, Faron) and acknowledged other tribes of Hyrule (Oocca).
The tunics originally did not have drawbacks and simply offered their basic enchantments. This made the Ikana Tunic unbalanced. Weaknesses were implemented in 6.0 and have been refined in later updates. JKalenad refined the drawback to the Ikana Tunic in 6.5.
The Oocca Tunic was originally planned to be implemented in a very early version of the mod as the Gray Tunic, an unenchanted tunic worn by Hylian Ghosts. It was ultimately abandoned until version 6.4. Unenchanted blue and red tunics were also implemented in version 3.0, but were unreliable and were removed. JKalenad revisited the generic, unenchanted tunics in version 6.5 with the Hylian Scout Tunic.
In version 6.6.3, the tunics were given new meshes made by Dralkkin.
JKalenad does not consider the original tunics to be his best work, but still thinks very highly of them. They were based on an unused model (i.e. guard armor with sleeves), and they were the first pieces of body armor he ever made. The old model and Hylian Scout texture were used for the Hylian Messenger Tunic in version 6.6.3 to keep the work he did present in the mod.
