Boots of the Winterlands — Waterdeep Provenance
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (Requires Attunement)
*"These boots are said to originate in Waterdeep’s Trades Ward, crafted generations ago by a cobbler whose shop once stood near the docks, where sailors returned frostbitten from northern seas. Though countless winters have passed, the boots bear the quiet refinement of the city—practical, elegant, and made to endure."
*"The outer leather is cut from deep-seal hide, a rare marine leather prized by Waterdhavian shipwrights for its resistance to salt, cold, and cracking. It is supple to the touch, dyed a storm-dark gray that catches faint blue highlights in winter light. The stitching is done with silver-threaded sinew, a technique taught by North Ward enchanters to help magic settle evenly through a garment."*
*"Inside, the boots are lined with snowermine fur, imported through Waterdeep’s port from Icewind Dale and magically treated to retain warmth without weight. The lining never mats, never dampens, and carries a faint scent of cedar and brine."*
*"The soles are layered with whale-bone resin and ironwood, giving firm purchase on ice and slick stone alike. Etched along the inner arch—visible only when the boots are turned upside down—are Old Waterdhavian runes invoking safe passage, steady footing, and warmth against unforgiving winds."*
