Cloak of the Mighty Winds
The Cloak of the Mighty Winds is the most famous Legendary Divine Talisman crafted by Lady Nami. The Cloak of the Mighty Winds allows it's wearer to fly. So if you have been around Scarterra as long as I have, you'll have seen that there is a lot of magic that enables flight but usually only for a few minutes at a time. The Cloaks of the Mighty Winds allows the wearer to fly continuously and as the name implies, the wearer can fly like the winds which means the wearer can outfly a dragon. I cannot verify this, but it is said that it insulates the flyer in a cocoon of comfortable air, so unlike other means of flight, the flyer doesn't freeze or get bugs in their teeth. When infused with the will power of the wearer, the Cloak of the Mighty Winds allows the wearer to fly a small group of people for a few hours. If the wearer is a theurgist, it will augment his or her magic slightly. If the wearer does not wield divine magic, it will bestow the wearer with perfect weather sense. The bearer of the Cloak of the Mighty Winds will become famous because said person can easily fly over a hundred miles a day. That means whoever has the cloak can easily preach Nami's values in every corner of Scarterra. More often than not, the man or woman wearing the cloak is a gifted storyteller, so it's usually a cause for celebration to see the wearer of the Cloak drifting in. Many Rovers have made lesser copies, typically called 'cloak of the winds', without the word 'mighty' and no capital letters. Typically these lesser cloaks only bestow flight for a few minutes a day (enough for a quick escape or to traverse one obstacle). Other lesser cloaks have charges like a wand does, so it can be used, 10, 20, or 50 times before it becomes nothing more than a pretty cloak."Nami's core followers are nicknamed Rovers on the Wind in a symbolic sense because most of us are well-traveled and Nami is the goddess of the winds (among other things). Once per generation or so, with Nami's blessing, one lucky person gets to be a Rover on the Wind literally because they receive the Cloak of the Mighty Winds.
History
"The Cloak of the Mighty Winds has been in circulation since at least in the Second Age. For most of ancient and recent history, the Cloak of the Mighty Winds is bestowed on a man or woman of great charisma and the bearer of the Cloak, apart from preaching Nami's word also helps facilitate communication between distant Rover groups. At any given point the wearer of the Cloak is probably holding at least a a dozen letters. The Cloak of the Mighty Winds provides no armor. I don't know it has been worn by dozens of people for hundreds of years and still intact. Witnesses usually describe the Cloak appearing in good condition but not appearing newly woven. The Cloak might be able to mend itself, or Nami spirits could periodically mend it. Usually the wearer of the Cloak of Mighty Winds is expected to be apolitical, but during times of woe they might carry messages with a political or military bent. During the Second Unmaking, the wearer(s) of the Cloak of the Mighty Winds could outfly a pack of Void demons, so they made great messengers. -Norabruck Grumblespine dwarven Nami Circuit Priestess
