Talos's Gift

Talos's Gift, also known as boots of grounding, were enchanted boots rumored to have be created by Talos himself.

Powers
Boots of grounding gave their wearer resistance to electricity and lightning.

History
Many years before 1368 DR, a pair of Talos's Gift boots was given by the the Storm Lord himself to a single man, a simple resident of the Starshine Peninsula fortress. Talos rained fury, earthquakes, and storms on the citadel after his favorite Stormherald was murdered within its walls. The boots' of grounding purpose was to save the life of one singular person of the citadel, so the tale of Talos' divine fury reached the masses.

Eventually, that man was discovered by a group of adventurers, alone in the ruined city and driven mad by the death and destruction he witnessed. Talos's Gift later found their way to many places across the world, carrying the tale of godly destruction.
