Living Veil Choker (Clothes of Mending) Wondrous Item, common Appearance This elegant choker appears to be a finely crafted piece of Underdark adornment, formed from dark silver filigree that curves in organic, flowing lines around a softly glowing central gem. Delicate chains and ornamental elements hang with perfect balance, catching even the faintest light. The inner band, however, is seamless and faintly translucent, as though made from an impossibly smooth fabric stretched over something fluid beneath. Subtle hues of rose, violet, and muted crimson drift within its structure, shifting almost imperceptibly when viewed from different angles. There is no visible clasp. Yet the choker always sits exactly where it should. Material The choker is composed of a strange, living-derived substance, bound into a stable ornamental form. It carries a constant soft red–rose–violet shimmer, regardless of lighting Its surface feels cool, smooth, and faintly responsive, like skin that is not entirely inert A subtle, almost pleasant sweet scent lingers around it Despite its unusual nature, the material is resilient and holds its shape as reliably as crafted metal or fine leather. Behavior When worn, the choker settles into place with quiet precision, adjusting itself to the wearer’s form without visible effort. It neither tightens nor slips, but remains perfectly fitted at all times. Over time, the choker subtly alters its appearance: the filigree shifts in fine detail the glow of the central gem deepens or softens chains and decorative elements rearrange themselves slightly These changes occur without command, as if the item simply reshapes itself according to unseen preferences. Living Core Beneath its refined exterior, the choker houses a bound, semi-liquid core that remains stable within its structure. This core is capable of absorbing external substances introduced to it in small amounts. When fed in this way, the material gradually integrates the substance and, over time, releases it again in controlled traces through direct contact with the wearer. The process is subtle, continuous, and difficult to perceive without careful observation. To most, this is simply an unusual quality of its material. Properties This item functions as Clothes of Mending: The choker continuously repairs minor damage to itself, restoring wear, scratches, and structural imperfections. Any portion that is completely destroyed cannot be restored in this way. Metamorphic The item periodically alters its appearance in slight ways. You have no control over these changes, which have no effect on its function. These alterations always remain within the form of refined attire. The choker may shift its design, ornamentation, or structure, but never becomes armor or a non-clothing object. Strange Material The choker is made from a material that behaves unlike conventional metal, cloth, or leather. Though its internal nature appears fluid and adaptive, its durability and function remain unaffected. Extended Forms More refined versions of the Living Veil Choker are known to extend beyond a simple collar. In such cases, the material may: spread across the upper body form seamless, form-fitting garments create the appearance of layered attire without visible stitching Even in these expanded states, it remains categorized as clothing, not armor. Subtle Presence The choker maintains constant, perfect contact with the wearer. It: never feels loose never shifts unintentionally adjusts naturally to movement and posture At times, it may seem to respond faintly to warmth, motion, or emotional tension. It does not resist. But it is never entirely passive. In-World Perception To most observers, this is: An exquisite and exotic piece of Underdark craftsmanship—rare, refined, and highly desirable. To those who study it more closely: The material does not behave like something made. It behaves like something that has learned to remain in form.
