Re: Sword-Gloves
I'm pretty sure you're thinking of a locking gauntlet. It's a guantlet with a plate extending from the fingers that locks onto a pin on the wrist. I'm not sure how it stays locked since I can't find any good descriptions, but here's a link to a picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Locking_Gauntlet_by_Wendelin_Boeheim.jpg
Nope, Michael Hopcroft and Blue Jogger were right. Manople and pata. Here's a discussion about them on NetSword: http://www.netsword.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000078.html
I can't find a picture of the manople but from what I've seen on google, the pata really fits the bill. By the way, make sure you type in pata sword because pata alone brings up a lot of useless results. Here's one result - a short blog about Witchblade with pictures of and information about the pata: http://thedarkblade.wordpress.com/2007/07/12/a-bewitching-blade/
Re: Bones As Armour
In a book I'm writing, the Mermaids and Sea Elves share a society based on the Ancient Greeks, the Mermaids being pansy Athenians and the Sea Elves being bada** Spartans. The Mermaids live in the seas and oceans but usually stick close to islands and coastal areas where the Sea Elves live. Because of their magical nature, Sea Elves can live equally well in water and on land. The Mermaids need them because the surface dwelling Sea Elves manufacture the types of items the Sea Elves can't produce underwater. The Sea Elves need the Mermaids less but still keep up a trade system for their own benefit.
By the way, look up shagreen, which is a leather made from sharkskin.
Those must be some big...
