Wondrous item, uncommon
The inside of this heavy leather cloak is decorated with the image of a roaring fireplace. Brick-like patches of leather line the rim of the cloak, which always feel fire-warmed to the touch. While wearing the cloak, you can tolerate temperatures as low as −50 degrees Fahrenheit without any additional protection. Laying the cloak on the ground or hanging it on a wall with its fiery inside exposed creates as much warmth as a small campfire.

The island’s unique, crystalline geology possesses a capacity for magic unrivaled anywhere in the world—too great for mortals to possess. Devamant, an androsphinx, decided to shroud the island behind powerful enchantments in order to protect its vulnerable ecology from intruders. For eons, prehistoric life continued to...
