Description

This Jester's Hat contains all the bright and fantastic colors of the rainbow when viewed from afar or in one's peripheral vision. However, when looking at it directly, the hat's colors and shape appear dull and flaccid, seemingly very uninteresting. So uninteresting in fact, that most viewers can't remember the person wearing the hat in any clear distinction

Lore

This hat once belonged to the worst Court Jester in all of the realms, as far as anyone knows. He was so terrible, in fact that people came to watch him simply to see him fail at his job. None understood why the king had allowed him to stay in court for so long. Nothing he did was exciting, funny, or even worth paying attention to, despite being amazingly talented at all aspects of tumbling, puppetry, mimicry and storytelling. Unbeknownst to historians, the worst Jester in the realms happened to be the most deadly assassin in the world at the time, his natural disposition hindering his cover.
