Garb of the Forest Warden (4e Item Set)

Garb of the Forest Warden

This set of clothing was gifted to ancient warriors of the elves that sought to emulate the mighty Forest Stalker. Blessed by ancient elderwood magic, these items bestow individuals great skill and agility like the fearsome predators themselves. Due to these terrifying abilities, they came to be known as Forest Wardens, the guardians of the woods.

The items of this set are most useful for any character that tends to scout unfamiliar areas, but any character that also seeks to better improve their mobility can benefit from it.

Lore

History or Nature DC 10 - Stories about the "treewalkers" began to spread during the human campaign into the forests of Betzaliel. Tales would tell of single elves that fought with the strength and ferocity of a wild beast before vanishing back into the thick woods. They came to be known as Forest Wardens and they were the gatekeepers of these ancestral lands.

History or Nature DC 17 - The elves born during the age of strife would tell you that to receive a blessing by an elderwood is no easy task. They are said to be able to see into the hearts of all people and know whether you are friend or foe. The fact that Forest Wardens bare not one but six items blessed by these ancient souls is a testament to not only their power but their resolve.

History or Nature DC 25 - It is rare to find these items out in the world as Forest Wardens were generally buried with their garb, unless a successor was found prior to their passing. Those that do come across them often keep their origin hidden as they are considered sacred artifacts of the elven people.

Woven from vines blessed by an elderwood, this belt strengthens one's resolve and grants them greater fortitude.
