The Cloak of Rainbows
- Unique Magical Cloak
Created DR 917 (803 years ago)
Created by Cloudspinner, in Amberglow, the Feywild
Owned by Chief Lubash
The Cloak of Rainbows is a multi-colored shimmering cloak, made of the threads of sunset woven by the Cloudspinner, and enchanted with powerful magic to shield the wearer from the sight and power of the Divine. The colors change with the light and the sun, shifting darker or lighter seemingly with the whims of fate.
Cintra believed Agata was searching for it, and had heard it was supposedly created by Apollyon, but the truth is more complicated. The history of the Cloak of Rainbows is intimately connected with the history of the People of the Rainbow. It was originally a gift to allow these orcs to live free of Thark’s gaze. It was stolen by Apollyon, and then lost, and rediscovered by the Dunmari in the years before the Great War, only to be lost again during the Great War.
Now, it is worn by the chiefs of Xurkhaz, currently Chief Lubash.
The power of the cloak has allowed, with hard work over the years, the People of the Rainbow to construct a magical barrier around Xurkhaz, a barrier that prevents Thark from acting, seeing, or in any way influencing events in Xurkhaz. Not only does this keep the orcs of Xurkhaz safe from Thark’s spying, it means that chained orcs, as they call the orcs still ensnared by Thark’s magic, will not willingly enter Xurkhaz.
The cloak also has the power to silence divine magic in a wide radius, should the wearer wish it.
