The Blessed Socks of Tongues
donated by Kalin Thistleknot
Description: These are kneesocks with rainbow
stripes.
History: A kender legend says that the
goddess Mishakel was traveling
when it suddenly started to rain
heavily. All she was wearing were
leather sandals, and her feet were
getting quite cold. She met a
kender along the way and
commented on her difficulty. The
kender was kind enough to lend
her her rainbow knee socks, which
reportedly kept Mishakel nice and
warm. One night after this, when
the kender was in the Palanthas
jail, Mishakel appeared to her with
her socks, freshly cleaned and
smelling spring fresh. She asked the
kender what one wish she had
was, as she would like to thank her
for her help. The kender said that
she had always wanted to speak
other languages. Mishakel smiled
and blessed the socks, giving them
back to her. Since then, the
rainbow-striped knee socks can
only be worn by kender. If any
other race tries to wear them,
they disappear, and they have
mysteriously stayed in prime
condition.
How it Works: When worn by a kender, these
socks will randomly allow the
kender to speak in foreign
tongues. This will happen
spontaneously, and the language is
always changing. While this can be
quite annoying to the people
listening, the kender find it
hilariously entertaining, and they
have often been used as night-
time entertainment in various jails,
sending other kender into wild
peals of laughter. However, these
socks may only be owned by a
single kender for three months
before they will spontaneously
disappear and turn up in another
random kender's pouch. |
