Boots of Grounding

Boots of grounding: 'Talos' Gift' Untold years ago, the Fortress of the Starspire Peninsula was placed under the direct torment of Talos when a favored Stormherald was murdered there. Talos promised the destruction of the city by earthquakes, its isolation by tidal waves, and the death of its citizens by storms. One pair of these boots was bestowed to ensure that none but a single man would survive to tell the story of his wrath. Later, travelers seeking fortune in the ruined city came upon an aged man, maddened by the continuous destruction around him; the boots he wore would carry to many a distant land the legend of a city consumed by a god's rage.

Boots of the Fox

These gaudy red and green boots were worn by the rogue Elpham of Perrywine. Elpham was a pickpocket of exceptional talent who pressed his luck by taunting his victims shortly after taking their loot. After being caught twice, Elpham invested his money in having these boots made. Of course, Elpham came to an untimely end when he picked the pocket of the notoriously ill-tempered Red Wizard of Thay, Xain Morobdel. Elpham stole a pouch full of gems off of Xain's waist and danced off into the crowd shouting, "Why don't you try to chase me back to the Priador, baldy? Ha ha!" Xain, quietly fuming, promptly summoned four invisible stalkers and commanded them to, "Kill the idiot in the red and green boots."

Boots of the North

Boots of the north: 'The Frost's Embrace' Stranded by his company for a sack of gold, Daviol the Frozen was left for dead in the midst of the Great Glacier. His dying curse echoed across the barren wastelands to the ear of Auril, Goddess of Winter. She smiled upon him, and his bare body was protected and preserved by his newly enchanted boots of the north. With them he crossed the ice land in pursuit of his would be murderers. Driven by rage, Daviol took his revenge upon his previous friends as they warmed themselves in a tavern of the closest city.

Quiet Boots

These well-worn leather boots were frequently used by the thug and part-time killer Renny the Fist. Renny, a former escape artist, liked to tell people that all he needed to kill them was a reason and "some quiet boots." He would then raise his boot up to eye level and say, "I'm already halfway there. Don't push me." Renny stopped doing this when a quick-thinking dwarf slammed his war club into the thug's groin. While Renny writhed on the ground, the dwarf removed the "quiet boots" and quickly left town.

Stomper's Boots  (STOMPER)   New in Heart of Winter

This pair of extremely sturdy boots were owned by the Thentian explorer Bordel "Stomper" Farpath. Bordel was famed throughout the Moonsea for his hiking contests. Bordel and a group of fellow explorers would specify a location in Faerun to march to. The contestants would then hike to the location by the quickest route possible. Bordel won far more of the competitions than he lost, and he had a reputation for having extremely heavy footsteps. This earned him the nickname "Stomper." When Bordel died in a rockslide, he was buried in the wilderness. Several years after his death, rumors began circulating that Bordel's boots were actually enchanted to make him sound loud when he approached. This rumor spiraled out of control, eventually going so far as to say that Bordel's boots were capable of shaking down houses with their weight. By the time thieves stole the boots ten years after Bordel's death, they had taken on the properties that so many people believed they possessed.
