[Collector+] Glamourgarb

Added 2024-05-14 15:17:02 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone! Something a bit different to the usual items today - these are a great 'single use' item, which double up as your ordinary clothing, and fanatstic to hold on to before and after their use! The Glamourgarb is something that my players often search for, put on, and then use it about 6 months later!

The D&D beyond link for the item is at the bototm of the post, as is the Collectors+ downloadable content!

Lore

In Daragaard’s capital - Khorest, Glamourgarb clothing holds a unique place in society. Despite their magical potency, these garments are typically seen as just another piece of the wardrobe among the upper end masses. Until activated, they are indistinguishable from any ordinary attire, yet to those in the know, they are objects of profound enchantment and prestige.

For the majority of their existence, these garments serve their owners as simple, yet stylish clothing. The true value of a Glamourgarb, however, lies in its ability to be activated just once, transforming the wearer into the centre of attention, charming all who gaze upon them with an almost supernatural allure.

Among the highest echelons of Khorest's society—the nobles, high magistrates, and ancient families—Glamourgarb is often regarded with a mixture of disdain and amusement. In circles where lineage and legacy overpowers that of magical enhancements, such garments are rarely utilised. It is believed that the true power of influence cannot be woven into fabric, and that respect must be earned by deeds and heritage rather than by enchantments.

However, the story is quite different in the upper and upper-middle classes of Khorest. Here, Glamourgarb is a cherished commodity, a symbol of status and an ace up the sleeve for social climbers and aspiring stars of high society. Activation of the garment is typically reserved for the most pivotal moments—grand balls, important public appearances, or critical social gatherings where making an indelible impression is paramount. Owning a Glamourgarb and choosing the perfect moment to reveal its magic is considered an art form, discussed and dissected in salons and soirées throughout the city.

Despite their popularity, the creation of Glamourgarb remains a closely guarded secret, and the garments are not easily obtainable. This scarcity only adds to their allure, making them highly sought after in the capital.
