The hidden lore behind the fabled Red Boots!
This item is available for Marquess, Duke, Prince, King, Emperor, Prophet and Dragon level tiers.
Seven score and fifteen years ago, when the first Kudônians settled in Swordhaven, they found themselves living next to a most uncouth neighbour: Lakamundoїn the Witch, exiled by his own people for his venomous tongue and general unpleasantness.
The diaries of the first Waidelott of Swordhaven mention numerous occasions when this evil sorcerer would unleash daggerfangs upon the settlers’ fields, start fires by casting lightning on their thatched roofs, and summon rivers of giant spiders and skinwyrms.
But every time the good people of Swordhaven tried to give chase, Lakamundoїn would click the heels of his red boots and escape into the wilderness, boasting tremendous speed.
Unable to reach their attacker, the Kudônians then sought refuge in prayer. “Oh, Celestial Dragon,” they begged, “deliver us from this philistine!”
Lo and behold! The next time the wizard clicked his heels to escape vengeance, he was blinded by his own extraordinary speed and ran, stomach first, straight into a sharp branch of an old oak.
His boots then became the treasured possession of the first Waidelott… Who ran himself into a barn wall just two months later. Since then, the boots have switched dozens of hands, or rather feet. Until finishing their journey in your backpack.
