The Cowl of the Faceless is a masterfully crafted piece of leatherwork, initially appearing unremarkable to casual observers. Fashioned from supple leather and adorned with accents of luxurious purple silk, this hood-like headwear conceals a potent secret known only to those who possess it. The cowl is often discreetly sold behind the counters of select shops or by shadowy individuals who understand its true worth.
Its rarity and unique enchantment make it highly sought after by spies, infiltrators, and those who deal in subterfuge and deception. Generally goes for approximately 500 gold pieces.
Created by skilled illusionists and coveted by those who walk in the shadows, the Cowl of the Faceless has a mysterious origin shrouded in secrecy. Legends speak of its creation by a reclusive mage who sought anonymity in a world filled with intrigue and political strife. Over the ages, it has passed through the hands of master spies, cunning thieves, and enigmatic assassins, each adding to its legend with tales of daring escapes, successful heists, and elaborate deceptions.
