Cloak of protection

"This is a really, really beautiful cloak that has kind of purplish-blue color to it with very, very fine edged embroidery in gold and silver that kind of just seems to naturally come out of the cloak like it's growing silver vines at the edges of it. It's a very, very fine make."

- Matthew Mercer describing a cloak of protection.

A cloak of protection, also called a protection cloak, is a cloak that offers limited magical protection from a variety of sources.

Appearance
Cloaks of protection have a purple-blue color with gold- and silver-edged embroidery that seems to wrap around the cloak like vines.

Effects
Once they attune to the item, a cloak of protection offers its wearer magical protection from effects such as the elements, attacks, and magic. It has similar effects to a ring of protection.

Mighty Nein member Mollymauk Tealeaf noticed it while he and partymates Nott and Fjord were on a shopping trip. Later, the Mighty Nein returned to The Invulnerable Vagrant and Fjord decided to buy the cloak, to the pleasant surprise of the store's owner, Pumat Sol.

Cloaks of protection are worn by cyclops stormcallers in Tal'Dorei.
