Paws of the Cheetah

The Paws of the Cheetah were a pair of boots of speed that, slightly differently from others of their sort, doubled their wearer's speed of movement on foot at all times.

History
They were used by a deadly assassin from the Sword Coast who chased down his prey at a speed that was faster than a running horse. While the name of this assassin was not known, it was believed that they went on to form a group of elite guards that were each identically equipped with boots of speed. This explained why they were not only exceptionally fast but seemed to appear at multiple locations at once.

In the, the boots were in the possession of Drasus, and adventurer who worked for Rieltar Anchev of the Iron Throne and was stationed at the old dwarven mine in the Cloakwood.

By the following year, the Paws of the Cheetah came into the possession of Illasera the Quick.
