"We have tried to guard our secrets as best we could, protecting our art from the boorish minds of the clumsier races. Now I am forced to watch them use our masterwork in their trivial exploits, and it is the greatest mockery that they can now walk as we do."
——Sarathel Windsweeper, Elven Craftsman

Description

These boots are made of a thin, incredibly soft yet surprisingly durable light brown leather. Along the top edges of the boot, as well as the top of the foot are dark green leaf patterns, sewn in with such skill that they appear to be a part of the material.

Lore

The Elves have long been renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship, and it is to items like these boots that they owe their reputation. While other races have their own crafting techniques, none can create equipment that is almost impossibly light, yet as sturdy as a Dwarf. The Boots of Elvenkind were originally common footwear to the ancient elves, but eventually more than a few were bestowed as gifts to amazed allies from other races, and so begin trading and bargaining for more Elven craftsmanship that continues to this day.
