[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 5013733, member: 4937"] I have basically two ideas. 1) That the tapestry is actually made of wind (elder wind elementals, a living epic scale 'control winds' spell, as you like) that has been polymorphed/transformed into thread to contain it. 2) The the tapestry is the cap or covering over a container (a vault or pit of some sort or a vault or pit that is actually a gate to a demiplane) holding in 'the wind' as above. In this case, the tapestry 'leaks' somewhat, making the area drafty/windy. In either case, I think Yan-C-Bin should play some role in the items backstory, and it might in fact be Yan-C-Bin that is imprisoned by the tapestry of winds. [URL="http://www.enworld.org/cc/converted/elemental/yan-c-bin.htm"]Yan-C-Bin[/URL] The tapestry is stored/located (in whatever fashion) in a massive vault beneath the sacristy of a ruined temple as one of the great treasures of that particular faith, but the means to gain entry into the vault has been lost as indeed has any certainty about where the tapestry of winds can be found. Having been lost for so long, information even about the existance of the artifact has become a bit of rather obscure lore that is little taught or remembered. It's possible that in the presence of the tapestry, certain spell-like powers are conferred if the proper rituals are conducted. However, the tapestry has become fragile. The tapestry should have appropriate guardians who would be content to bottle up wind (stone golems, a dao noble, etc.). [/QUOTE]
