Enchanted Elven Doublets are scripted front-worn containers that are themed around the five modern Houses of Ardenai, Illistim, Loenthra, Nalfein, and Vaalor. They can be customized, and the components customized can be referenced in various verb messaging. They debuted at Ta'Vaalor's Festival of the Fallen in 2024.

Enchanted Elven Doublets can only be worn by an elf or half-elf. Sylvankind and dark elves cannot wear them.
