Kantlara

Kantlaras were a special kind of vest worn by clerics of Oghma, the Lord of Knowledge.

Description
These vests were black with gold brocade. The entire kantlara was decorated with symbols of magical power including runes, glyphs, and sigils. Each was significant to specific regions of Faerûn. The markings were always sewn onto the kantlara by the wearer with gold braid.

History
When a priest of Oghma rose within the ranks of the clergy, they usually experienced a dream or vision about a new pattern to sew into their kantlara.
