Item Concept:
Seven League Boots
A pair of ancient and battered leather horseman’s boots, worn butter-soft. Tooled leather is readily apparent on the leg, sides and cuff. It was obviously an expensive pair of boots, and well loved and lived.
The Seven League Boots are a well known piece of European lore, about a pair of boots that enable the wearer to take strides of seven leagues—or 21 miles. The origin of the legend is thought to have come from horse-couriers, whose feet only touched the ground when they swapped out their tired horse for a fresh one.
One Time Discount [+1]
It Is What It Is. The boots are just that: a nice pair of old-style horseman’s boots, possibly belonging to a noble cavalry officer or courier. They are soft, snug and oh-so-comfortable.
Unbreakable: The boots are indestructible save through a dedicated magical ritual that would pervert their purpose—probably something along the lines of binding or imprisoning.
Imparted Abilities. There are two different versions of the Seven League Boots abilities: Speed and WorldWalking. A combination of the two is also distinctly possible.
Version One: Speed
Mythic Speed [-6]
The Boots grant Speed such as is only known in myth—myths often featuring the boots themselves.

Version Two: World-Walking
Swift-Transition [-2]
World-Walker [-2]
This version of the boots is a tad more literal to the legend of 7 League strides, as short hops through the Nevernever are easy to accomplish, and crossing the globe in a short walk is also simple.
