Svartalfheim cloaks were magical cloaks from the realm of Svartalfheim.[1]
Description[]
These cloaks were black and blue in coloration, made of a light material, and had a fur collar.[1]
Powers[]
These cloaks granted their wearers increased powers of stealth, on par with that of a cloak of elvenkind, and granted the power to cast wraithform once per day.[1]
History[]
In the Year of Wild Magic, 1372 DR,[note 1] a group of adventurers from the city of Ravens Bluff on the world of Toril traveled to Ysgard in search of the legendary Well of Mimir.[2] While on their journey they came into the possession of one of these cloaks.[1] According to some, the Ravenians earned one from the frost giant Brimir for competing against his fellow giants.[3] Other sources told of the Ravenians having broken into Brimir's hall and stolen the cloak from his bedroom[4] or having won a Svartalfheim cloak from Queen Titania for having competed against fey of the Seelie Court in a series of challenges.[5]

Notes[]
- ↑ The events of the Living City Ravens Bluff campaign took place on a timeline that advanced together with the real world's time. Even though all Living City adventures and issues of Ravens Bluff Trumpeter were dated with real-world dates, there were events that received a DR year. The Living City timeline can be derived from Myrkyssa Jelan's historic events of the late 14th century DR. Myrkyssa Jelan attacked Ravens Bluff in 1370 DR, according to The City of Ravens Bluff and Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd edition; these events are chronicled in an in-and-out of universe issues of Ravens Bluff Trumpeter. This places the real world year 1997 as 1370 DR, and in 1998 (1371 DR), Myrkyssa was at last arrested and tried and said to have been executed, only to reappear in 1372 DR in The City of Ravens novel. As the real world's months and the Calendar of Harptos are virtually identical, we can also date all events of the Living City Ravens Bluff as close as an in-universe month.
