Seeker's Antlered Ritual Hat

A ceremonial headpiece of stiffened hide framed with real antlers that curve outward in sweeping arcs above the wearer's brow. The antlers are darkened by age and ritual burn marks, their tips jagged where they've broken and been bound back into place. Deep grooves from generations of use mar the hide, and incantation sigils have been carved into the brow band in a pattern that matches the Seeker's chanting. The hat is pulled low during the vision ritual, its antlers scraping against the low ceiling of the Relic Room as the Seeker works the bones into alignment.

Before: Previously in her possession, worn as part of her ritual attire, its antlers intact and sigils preserved.
After: Same as before, though its ritual use has imbued it with temporary spiritual significance in the eyes of observers.
