Description

This finely crafted forest green or light brown cloak is always adorned with pale golden elvish runes on its fringes. It features a copper, silver, golden or in some cases mithral ornate clasp of the elven clan by which it was made. The clasp can denoting a certain measure of social standing or rank within elven society. When clasped about the neck, the wearer finds that the cloak weaves and moves naturally almost on its own, its hue even changing slightly to better appear as part of the surrounding environment.

Lore

The secret of the creation of magical elven garments is highly sought after, and thus fiercely guarded by all of elvenkind. It remains one of the few items that can only be acquired from one source. Fortunately, elves have never been terribly reluctant to trade their wares or share them as gifts with those deserving or trustworthy. Perhaps it is also because they are confident that other races do not have the acumen necessary to learn the secrets of their construction that they are willing to let the use of their cloaks spread throughout the world.
