The Lesser of Two Weevils

[The Lesser of Two Weevils - 8209266]
Terracotta pots and containers of dark green fauna cover the walls of the room, leaving vines to entwine along the lotus-shaped bronze hooks interspersed in a haphazard fashion. Stray beams of light cast scattered shadows along the ebonwood-planked floor of the shop, highlighting the iridescent beetle carapaces that are inlaid into the wood. Set within the middle of the room is a sigil-carved marble stand, upon which a leather-bound volume sits between two melted tapers.

In the Common language, it reads:
Shadarl

The presence of a mage known to specialize in earth and shadow magics adds an aura of the arcane to the stories coming from the Woods.  Regardless, the outcome was something completely different than aganjira.

Black as pitch, shadarl has the unusual property of absorbing both light and sound.  While this absorption is not complete, it is enough to grant a stealthy adventurer an edge over his prey.

One unfortunate side effect of this is that shadarl often disrupts spellcasting by absorbing words and sound before they even leave the wearer's mouth.

The term shadarl was coined to resemble the erithi mummery, the shi'hadara, where masks are used to hide one's face.

On the hook you see: a silk-cowled shadarl leather bodysuit, a long-lined shadarl aketon patterned in geometrical designs, a pelt-mantled shadarl arming doublet, a tall-collared shadarl arming coat cross-buckled in bronze, a set of shadarl casting leathers branded with a single sigil, a set of sanguine-stained shadarl leathers, a muted shadarl leather tunic sleeved in tonal brushed suede, and a shadarl leather cyclas subtly patterned in wending vinework.
