Zharalhide is a low- to medium-quality leather, both pliable and highly durable, but somewhat coarser in texture than other hide. It is harvested from the zharal, a large antelope common in arid grasslands and mountain foothills of both Idiri and Rahoum. Zharalhide is useful for making items that require a combination of both ruggedness and flexibility, and it is often used for all-weather cloaks and mantles, footwear, and even umbrellas. While the hair is usually removed when preparing zharal hide for wear, it is sometimes retained for rugs and upholstery, as it features attractive striped patterns of black and dove grey or chestnut.
