Moonlight-Woven Cloak of Silverbrook
Crafted by the healer communities of Silverbrook Grove, this cloak is fashioned from threads of actual moonlight drawn down through crystal apparatus and woven with silk, producing a garment that seems to emit a soft, cold radiance of its own and shifts between near-transparency and deep shadow depending on the phase of the moon. To wear it is to feel the coolness of a forest night settle over the skin regardless of the season.
