Sterling feathered jewelry was introduced as an update to the Ghezyte chelioboros item quest reward first released at Ebon Gate 2017. At Ebon Gate 2021, the ability to convert the item's appearance and abilities, along with its deity, was made available as part of the quest. It is a self-charging item that has different abilities based on whether one has completed the yearly quest and/or converted to the deity Zelia. Similar to the ghezyte chelioboros item, the amount of favor gained for it allows its various upgrades. The first year being 1000 followed by 2000 for the second year. Favor is garnered by doing the various Caligos Isle yearly quest(s). There is a cost of 250,000 silver to purchase the item from the chest when available on Caligos Isle. Once purchased, the item is attuned to the character that picked it up.
Note: The verbs for each year are unlocked automatically each year, and are not tied to favor gain. There are no year 5 verbs available for quest items that have been converted to other deities.
The item can be rotated between four various worn locations via the PROD verb. Those four locations include wrist(bracelet), finger(ring), neck(choker), and ankle(anklet).

Additional Information
Appearance
The LOOK/TAP of the item is: a labrynthine crescent-woven (noun) with no long description. The SHOW is:
Intricately woven into complicated twists and turns, the soft grey hue of alum wire forms a backdrop for platinum, copper, faenor, and dark iron strands. The copper and faenor pieces are twisted into crescents that face one another at opposing ends of the broad expanse, while the platinum and dark iron threading is woven into intertwining knotwork patterns that resemble the complicated dance the sisters Lornon and Liabo often engage in. A fine toggle, wrought in the unlikely image of an eel, allows the piece to carefully be worn.
