Tapestry of the Five Flights

Tapestry of the Five Flights unfurls as a vast square of silk, its weave a careful mosaic of moon-silver threads and dusk-burnished wool. A copper-gold border frames a central scene where five dragon silhouettes rise from curling mist, each rendered in a distinct hue—crimson, cobalt, emerald, obsidian, and amber—traced with subtle runes along their spines. The piece carries a faint warmth to the touch, as if it holds a memory of flame and wind. Lore says it was woven by the Ember Scribes during the Celestial Convergence, when the five flights sealed a creeping shadow over the valley. The threads glow faintly under moonlight, and the dragons seem to breathe when the air is still, their forms shifting like living ink. The tapestry is a map of memory. When hung beneath a skylight, dawn and dusk bend the colors; at those moments the silhouettes lean closer, as if listening to histories. The embroidery is said to contain whispers of the five flights—the Red, the Azure, the Verdant, the Nightborne, and the Dawn—each offering a fragment of guidance to those who seek perilous routes or long-lost lore. Scholars insist that deciphering the threadwork requires patience and a quiet heart, because the runes are not decoration but sigils that awaken only for the worthy. Gameplay significance comes from more than its beauty. The Tapestry of the Five Flights acts as a legendary artifact that can be placed in a hall or shrine, where it automatically conducts a quiet, ambient blessing. Attuned adventurers unlock five charges of Flight's Blessing, each channeling a different dragonflight prowess. One charge grants a swift surge of speed and nimbleness for about twelve minutes. A second strengthens resolve, shielding against magical and physical harm for a quarter of an hour. A third heightens perception, improving critical strike chance and revealing hidden routes. The fourth enhances fortune, slightly increasing loot quality and resource yields for a brief window. The fifth provides a controlled recall—an assisted teleport to a chosen shrine or waypoint when danger looms. If unused, the charges recharge after a quest or upon studying the Fivefold Prophecy, renewing the tapestry’s memory and counsel. In secondary play, the tapestry serves as a catalyst for crafting and enchantment. Healers and tinkerers, armorers and enchanters can weave its blessing into equipment to grant elemental resistances, improve enchantment success rates, or reduce material costs in related recipes. The item also anchors a small quest chain: learning to harmonize the five sigils within the tapestry unlocks a hidden archive of dragonflight lore and a mount path, rewarding exploration and persistence.
