Veilwalker's Mantle

Veilwalker's Mantle is a unique relic in Landorya. Its known origin is The Veilwalker's Mantle was commissioned during the Age of Hollow Wars by Archweaver Seliveth of the Order of the Starlight, who sought a means to move Order couriers through the besieged Drakonian fortresses without loss of life. Seliveth bound a master Naiad silk-spinner named Urviss of the Veilmere to the task, the two of them spending seven years in ritual co-creation, Urviss contributing the membrane-silk that bridges the corporeal and the aqueous, Seliveth sealing each thread with compressed aether drawn from the Order's most jealously guarded crystalline reserves.. Its most cited abilities include Incorporeality: The wearer becomes fully ethereal for up to one hour, passing through solid matter, walls, doors, earth, without resistance., Silence of the Unreal: While ethereal, the wearer emits no sound, casts no shadow, and registers as absent to mundane and most magical senses., and Partial Phasing: With concentration, the wearer may selectively phase individual limbs, allowing them to reach through solid surfaces while remaining otherwise visible and corporeal.. Accounts also warn of a drawback: The longer the wearer remains in the ethereal state, the more the boundary between their mortal self and the Veil erodes. Those who exceed the cloak's one-hour…

During the Age of Hollow Wars, the cloak was carried by the Order of the Starlight's most trusted courier, a half-blood Eldorian known only as the Pale Runner, who slipped through Drakonian fortresses a dozen times and delivered the sealed accords that ended the Siege of Vareth's Gate. After the Runner's death, reportedly walking into the walls of the Order's own Conclave and never re-emerging, the cloak was catalogued among the Order's Vault of Irrecoverable Things, where it rested for two centuries. It was stolen during the Fey Court of Eternal Twilight's infamous Night of Borrowed Hands, a coordinated heist in which Fey agents stripped the Conclave's outer vaults of eleven relics; the cloak passed through three Fey noble houses before being lost at sea en route to the Shimmering Isles. It is believed by Desert Scholar cartographers, who annotated its last known location in the Treatise of Missing Lights, to lie still within the wreck of the Fey galleon Whisper of Nowhere, somewhere in the uncharted shallows between the Shimmering Isles and the Naiad-haunted Veilmere coast.
