Cloak of the Twisting Shadow
rare activeA midnight-silk cloak that grants Stealth advantage in dim light and once-per-day invisibility
Cloak of the Twisting Shadow
A cloak woven from midnight-black silk that seems to absorb light, its edges trailing faint wisps like living smoke. The hem never quite settles — even in still air, the fabric drifts as if a wind is moving through it that no one else can feel.

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

Usage
While wearing the cloak, you have advantage on Stealth checks made in dim light or darkness.
Once per long rest, you can use a bonus action to become invisible for up to 1 minute, or until you attack or cast a spell.
Lore
Assassins of the Slanted Circle moved unseen under this cloak’s protection, their forms melting into shadow as they struck. The cloak does not grant its wearer mastery of shadow — it grants the shadow’s permission to hide them. Whether that distinction matters in practice depends on the wearer’s relationship with the dark.
History
Recovered from the Vault of the Slanted Circle in Session 11.
