Boots of Found Knowledge
In the Empire of Prasad, away from the eyes of watchful clans, the old ways are still respected. The meek, away from the stratified life of court, value most the experience of a life well-lived, following the teachings of Kumtahon, a son of Mercury now long dead.
Kumtahon's boots, a gift from Legs churning under a still pond, were made of a cotton-like material fleeced from the down of pegasi, but stronger than most leather, and feather-light, indeed.
Their magic was threefold:
They would not hamper him if he was in pursuit of knowledge, being as light as the lightest cloth.
They would record the knowledge, in patterns of ink over a sheet of the same material kept in Yu-Shan, whose length cannot be reckoned. Nara-O, Lord of Secrets Untold, he of secrets only one knows, guardian of the the Forbidding Manse of Ivy, smiles when asked if the material can run out of space to write, and says nothing.
If in pursuit of knowledge, should their bearer be grapped, captured or otherwise bound, they will explode in a torrent of feathers, bursting any bounds, and causing bashing levels of damage equal to however many turns of control any grappling attempts has remaining, should the binder not release their grasp.
