Mute's Cloak

A voluminous black cloak with deep hood, concealing Merak's form when he assumes the identity of a mute during infiltration. The fabric absorbs light without sound, muffling his movements as he slips past outer defenses. Though plain to the eye, its true purpose lies in the deception it enables—the cloak transforms its wearer into an unremarkable shadow among the silent acolytes.
