Blanket

A blanket was soft rug used to cover one's body in order to keep warm and comfortable.

Description
Blankets were made of comfortable material, such as wool. Some used their cloaks as blankets when journeying through cold locations or during winter, or to protect themselves from scorching sand. Furthermore, they could also be used to cool others down or drive off swarms of flying vermin.

Blankets were used all over Faerûn, Kara-Tur,, Zakhara and Maztica. Specific types of blankets were sometimes placed between the saddle or the barding and a mount, in order to make the ride more comfortable, and to protect the mount.

Powers
Magical blankets were known to exist throughout the multiverse.

History
When Zhengyi the Witch-King plagued Vaasa, part of his citadel was occupied by a banshee. She covered herself in a blanket, and sobbed, drawing adventurers towards her as if she was an upset girl. The banshee aimed to spring unwary adventurers and attack them, should they approach her.

Throughout the Grand Bazaar of Huzuz, one could set up a vending stall by simply placing a blanket on the ground.
