Azriel's Mantle
The relics known as Azriel's Mantle were first worn by a Sergeant at Arms in the Eye's early years. In those times, it was the duty of the Sergeant to assemble a fighting force to deal with the bands of roving undead or Kellid barbarians that the Dukes of the land would ignore.
Azriel took the title and office duties one step further and would ride into several villages conscripting the young sons and daughters of Eye members into fighting groups, and lead them on raids into areas controlled by covens of hags, undead wizards, or packs of wild men and beasts. Azriel lost his life fighting against the packs of wild men and orc tribes raiding the border of Canterwall and the badlands to the west. His mask and cloak of office were recovered by an unknown apprentice and returned to the Council in Lepistadt. Since then they have been awarded to officers of the Eye who have shown a sense of honor and duty to the people of Ustalav above and beyond what is expected.
In game terms Azriel's Mantle is two different magic items. A +1 cloak of resistance and a magical mask. The mask provides a +2 to intimidate checks when worn, 1hour/day the wearer gains dark vision and 1round/ hit die of the wearer/ day the wearer gains detect living or undead. These two abilities may be activated as free actions. The type of detect used is chosen at the time of activation.
