Boots of elvenkind

Boots of elvenkind were a type of magical boots, of elven origin, that allowed the wearer to step across any surface quietly. These rather soft boots were also known as elven boots, elvish boots, or elven sneaking boots.

Powers
The boots of elvenkind allowed the wearer to walk much more quietly.

History
The boots original purpose was to allow elves to travel through the forest without causing any disturbance, but they were popular amongst thieves because they were ideal for committing crimes. Thus elven makers were reluctant about letting them fall into foreign hands.

Several pairs of these boots were crafted for elven scouts in 884 DR, and aided in two major battles against mercenaries from Sembia.

Due to their elven origins, these boots were extremely difficult to find them in other sizes.

Varieties
The slippers of soft movement from the lands of Zakhara had the same properties as boots of elvenkind, but appeared as slippers, and adjusted themselves to fit the feet of the respective wearer.
