Fully Unlocked, Customized Of the Faith Burnoose

a throat-clasped voluminous linen burnoose accented in collared lizard hide,

This is a fully customized and unlocked Of the Faith cloak, max deep/light w. a desert-themed meditation unlock with 40% electric resistance.

>look burnoose - Layers of sand-hued linen drape in voluminous folds, the fabric cut generously enough that long, loose sleeves and a deep hood lend the burnoose an almost monastic presence to the ankle-sweeping hemline. Bright blue collared lizard hide reinforces each seam, its vivid scaling a striking contrast to the fabric. The stitchwork joining the two materials is extraordinary, so fine and precise as to be nearly invisible. At the throat is a braided sisal frog closure, molded by tight braiding into a scorpion.

Meditation Messaging - Kneeling 1st person - Settling your weight more fully upon your knees, you gather the loose folds of your linen burnoose around you and still your breathing until it matches the slow, patient rhythm of open sands. Your fingers drift upward to trace the ebon sisal frogs at your throat, and you draw your thoughts inward as you think about the warmth held in the depths of the desert. These thoughts bring you comfort, allowing you to slip into a deep meditation.

Meditation Messaging - Prone 1st person moving to knees - Rolling to your side, you press your palms to the ground and rise to your knees, pausing to let the layered linen of your burnoose fall around you in soft folds. You close your eyes and turn your face toward the open air. You turn your mind to memory, listening for the echo of the desert, the passage of wind, and find yourself grounded in those thoughts.
