Tanglebriar is not the only realm plagued by fiendish fungi. The soldiers of Nirmathas have long fought against a similar blight deep in Fangwood, and these boots are one of the more potent tools they’ve developed to help in this pursuit. Now that the Fangwood blight has been mostly contained, many of these boots have been gifted to elven soldiers, for they are equally useful to those who operate within Tanglebriar’s borders. They are also regarded as great trophies for the
demons and cultists who dwell within Tanglebriar, for not only can they make use of these boots’ powers, but wearing something created by your enemy gives
Treerazer’s agents yet another way to engage in psychological warfare—they often adorn their boots with severed elf ears, or worse!
These leather boots remain covered in mud no matter how often they are cleaned. The oiled leather resists water and keeps the feet and legs dry even when wading through water, but the boots retain a damp, fungal smell reminiscent of rotting vegetation.
