Description

The Belt of the Master is a marvel of understated beauty. Woven from strands of deep chestnut silk, it is soft and supple to the touch. Yet, underneath the surface, it pulses with a subtle strength that suggests an untold resilience. It fastens with a simple silver clasp carved with the image of a closed fist. As the wearer moves, the belt seems to flex and coil with them, like a living serpent ready to strike.

Lore

This belt has appeared in the annals of history time and time again, always seeming to find its way to those in need of its power. The most famous account is perhaps that of Yara the Unyielding, a farmer's daughter who defended her village from a marauding band of ogres with nothing but her bare hands. Legend tells that she discovered the Belt buried in her field, and donned it in her village's hour of need. When the dust settled, not a single building had been touched, and Yara stood victorious amidst a group of fleeing ogres.
