Coat of the Crest

The Coat of the Crest is a protective magical coat worn by Yasha Nydoorin. The coat was found by the Mighty Nein in Vokodo's underwater lair on Rumblecusp among other items hoarded from visitors and inhabitants of the island. Yasha had it altered by a tailor in Rexxentrum to her personal taste and to better withstand the cold. She wore this coat throughout the Nein's expedition to Eiselcross.

Appearance
The Coat of the Crest is a "very fine" nobleman's coat made in the Concordian style. After its current owner Yasha Nydoorin commissioned alterations, it is a black coat with wide sleeves. A draping, leather hood with white fur was added, and it was embroidered on the back with black lightning and flowers with additional small white flowers. The original coat before these alterations was never described.
