Relic Item: 445: The Scarf of the Obscene
Status: Concerning: Harmless Unless Worn
Notes on Supervision: The Scarf is to be kept neatly folded under a black velvet cloth at all times. It is not to be observed, sketched, or touched unless under strict supervision by the current Relicmaster.
Description: A gauzy garment made of silks in greens and golden thread, its initial beauty hides a disturbing truth. Daedric runes writhe and flicker across its surface like oil on water, lending an unhealthy and distressing element to anyone looking overlong at the scarf.
The Scarf of the Obscene is believed to be a minor relic of a High Rock Peryite Cult that operated sometime in the late 1st Era. Discovery of this relic was directly tied to an outbreak of several diseases previously unknown to healers or alchemists of the time. When worn, the wearer becomes a holy cauldron of Peryite's most blessed contagions. Coming within a few feet of the wearer appears to magically infect almost any person or beast with a variety of these diseases.
Each new wearer seems to gestate a new assortment of diseases, by means unknown. Further study is indicated.
This Scarf is believed responsible for the "Scouring of the Moors" which occurred early in the 2nd Era, [sic]an epidemic that became the fuel for a mass necromantic event which has left much of the Glenumbra region uninhabitable to this day.
