Threads of the Eldritch Depths - Magic Item (Legendary Archive)
🕑 Added 2023-10-05 11:06:41 +0000 UTC🐙🌊🎲 "Glide, mere mortal, within the formless depths of Zhoqua’s boundless cognition, a voyage through eons of dark contemplation, through the lattice of thoughts so vast and entwining, they shroud the insipid flicker of your mortal understanding in an impenetrable dark. Here, in the silent roar of the ageless void, where the Threads of the Eldritch Depths shimmer like a phantasmal lure amidst the perpetual night, your feeble notions of ‘garment’ dissolve into irrelevance."
"The Threads, an undulating enigma of sanguine tendrils and shadow, do not merely cover, but caress the boundary betwixt the physical and the incomprehensible. They commune in vibrations not of words, but of the very fibers of being, extending into the tangible realm a conduit to the aberrant, those entities whose thoughts cascade like torrents through dimensions unbounded by terrestrial constraints."
"Perceive, through Zhoqua’s timeless gaze, the illusory emanations of the Threads: self-replications, fragments of wearers, pulsating with eldritch energies that scour the consciousness of aggressors with a deliciously tormenting reprisal. A mere whisper of the eternal dark, yet enough to smite the insolent."
"To weave one’s fate into the Threads, in regions suffused with energies eldritch and untamed, is to twine one’s essence into the ineffable tapestry of the multiverse, to project into the unending, a siren’s call to entities of enigmatic intent and boundless capability. Your presence becomes a mote amidst the vast, a curiosity, a perturbation in the eldritch flows of the infinite dark." 🐙🌊🎲

Threads of the Eldritch Depths
Wondrous Item, very rare (requires attunement)
This sumptuous robe appears to be made from deep crimson fabric, yet upon closer inspection, it shimmers and shifts like the watery depths of a dark ocean. The robe's hem is alive with numerous tentacles, each moving with a mind of its own.
While wearing the robe, you can sense the presence and type of any aberration within 300 feet of you. You can telepathically communicate with any aberration in this range, or broadcast your thoughts to all aberrations within range. Aberrations receiving your broadcasted thoughts cannot respond unless they possess their own means of telepathy.
The robe holds 3 charges. As an action, you can expend 1 charge to project illusory duplicates of yourself, much like the mirror image spell. However, these images are imbued with eldritch energy. If an attacker targets you with an attack and hits one of the illusory duplicates instead, that attacker takes 1d10 psychic damage as a backlash of the disrupted eldritch image. The robe regains all expended charges daily at dawn. If you're not of aberrant nature and use the robe's illusory power in regions deeply connected to the eldritch realms or otherworldly depths, roll a d6. On a roll of 1 or 2, you draw the attention of an aberration of CR 11 or lower (GM's discretion). This entity might be intrigued or threatened by the robe's power, leading to unpredictable encounters. If this aberration deems the robe significant, it might attempt various methods to procure the Threads of the Eldritch Depths for itself.
