(wondrous item, uncommon)

Last Updated: December 10, 2023
Campaign: The Lost Mine

These boots are of elven craftmansip with a soft pliable sole.

Only humanoids can wear these boots.

While you wear these boots, your steps make no sound, regardless of the surface you are moving across.
You also have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks that rely on moving silently.

In addition, while wearing the boots, you can choose to have them leave tracks like those of another kind of humanoid of your size.

History:

  • After defeating King Grol at Kragmaw castle, Obsidiana Moonsong used her share of the loot to puchase Boots of Elvenkind from Linene Graywind, the master of the Phandalin Lionshields outpost.
  • Obsidiana Moonsong was able to get the proprieter of the Magic Shoppe in Farway to add the properties of Boots of False Tracks to her Boots of Elvenkind.
  • Obsidiana Moonsong has recently acquired some Boots of Speed so has loaned her Boots of Elvenkind and False Tracks to Coryn Reyydark.
