Boots
A Mad Gent's Boots
In the wake of the Time of Troubles, a financially-ruined Waterdhavian aristocrat named Madachi Jhent claimed to see a vision of the High God Ao in his cloak. He took this as a sign that he was to become the first head of the church of Ao in Faerûn.
It was apparent to most people early on that Madachi was insane. He would preach to a pen of pigs or pronounce damnations against the vegetable residents of a bowl of soup. Unfortunately, the madman was charismatic enough to pull people under his sway. Many observers were never quite sure if Madachi was in the grips of madness or divine inspiration. They couldn't tell if he was seeing things that weren't there or if they were the ones who could not perceive reality.
His reputation was boosted greatly by a bizarre occurrence that took place in one of the poor districts of Waterdeep. He began to speak gibberish to a group of homeless men. Eventually, a blind man became irritated with Madachi's rants and tried to push him away. Madachi reacted violently, kicking the man in the face with his shiny black boot. When the man rose, he found that his blindness had been cured. And still, no one was quite sure what to make of the situation. But the public's uncertainty didn't stop Madachi from going around Waterdeep and kicking people in the face.

Balhodrie's Eelskin Boots
Due to their religious responsibilities, minions of Umberlee, are supposed to avoid personal entanglements with those who work the sea. Of course, even among those who follow dark gods, the pursuit of pleasure and emotional gratification often cause them to stray from their commandments. One priestess who strayed in such a fashion was Kalana Fisher. In 1357, she began a romance with the pirate captain Balhoderie. Though both were extremely flawed people with outrageous personalities and a complete lack of faithfulness, they had a strange mutual affection for each other. But while Balhoderie's great flaw was his mean temper, Kalana's was in holding grudges.
In 1366, Kalana tracked down the murderer of Balhoderie, a Talosian pirate captain named Madion. She planted information in Madion's spy network and anonymously offered him a tantalizing prize: three high-value merchant ships leaving the port of Baldur's Gate with few defenses. Low on money, Madion took the bait. He was slaughtered by the numerous guards that poured from the ships' holds. As Madion lay dying on the deck of the Malediction, the priestess pulled the boots from his feet, boots she had crafted for Balhoderie from the skin of giant eels. The merchant's guards stripped the rest of Madion's gear from his body before dumping him into the ocean.
As it had turned out, the merchant captain was a superstitious sort and had gone to the temple of Umberlee in Baldur's Gate for a divination. Without hesitation, the priestess Kalana had foretold a horrible attack outside the port. Not only did Kalana get her revenge, but the captain became a lifelong donator to the church of Umberlee.

"You can hide, but you cannot run!" This was the calling card of a deadly Sword Coast assassin who purportedly moved with such speed that his targets couldn't respond, even if on horseback. These boots were the source of his ability, though it is also believed that he formed an elite guild wherein each member was equipped identically, thus explaining why he was not just fast, but could seemingly appear in several places at once.

Boots of the Shifting Sands
The most infamous halfling bard in Faerûn, Stompin' Con Tommers, claimed that entire tribes of goblins would quiver in fear when they heard he was coming. Strangely enough, the boasts of this halfling might have had some basis in truth, as the magical boots he wore really could cause earthquakes. He claimed to have pilfered the boots from an extra-planar bard whose voice could destroy entire cities. Con's career was cut short when he miscalculated a leap over a gorge he created and the earth swallowed him.

The original version of these boots were said to be worn by the wise wanderer, Teki Jin, of Kara-Tur. As he traveled and grew in strength, Teki was joined by students who would follow in his path. When a student left to travel their own path, Teki would pass his old boots to his student, to remind them that every path under the sun should be walked in the wisdom of the past. After his death, many copies of his boots would show up in stores, each supposedly handed down from Teki to a student.

Feryl Dragonhunter was a monster of a man who, with four kills to his credit, thought he had perfected the art of dragon slaying.

Amazingly, Feryl was not defeated by his preferred enemy, but was surprised by a small band of goblins on his way to a hunt.

Grainstone Boots
Not much is known about the background of the Sharran monk Riala Grainstone. She was born and raised somewhere in the Dalelands. Her unexceptional surname could have belonged to one of a few thousand children in the area. What is known is that she suffered so badly in her childhood and adolescence that he gave her mind and soul over to the goddess of night and loss, Shar. As she rose in prominence in the Order of the Dark Moon, she was granted several enchanted pieces of equipment to improve her efficacy as an assassin and a warrior.
Riala was given these boots upon achieving the Third Circle of Darkened Night, the first level of initiation considered to be above that of a mere student. Along with the gift came a task: Riala was to assassinate a high-ranking cleric of Selûne, who had been leading a rather troublesome crusade against Shar's worshippers in the region. The moon-goddess' priest was well-guarded, but endowed with the speed of these boots, Riala was able to slip past the ranks of bodyguards, strike a killing blow, and flee into the darkness before anyone was able to react.

Scattertrail Boots
Several years after her initiation into a druidic circle in the High Forest, the gnome Darya Scattertrail and several adventuring companions pursued a rogue Thayan wizard intent on unlocking the infernal secrets of Hellgate Keep. The red wizard was aided by powerful magic, but Darya and her companions knew the forest better and were able to bring their quarry to bay against a tall ridge. The adventurers dispatched the wizard's guards easily enough, but the mage himself was more skilled than they'd expected. Terrible magics were unleashed against Darya and her compatriots, and the young druid watched in horror as a Thayan spell rooted her friends to the ground to be devoured by the wizard's summoned demons.
Overcome with terror, Darya broke and, aided by the enchantment of these boots, fled, abandoning her remaining allies to their fate. Only later, when the animal panic had dissipated and reason returned, did Darya realize what she had done. Overcome with shame, she threw her adventuring gear to the ground and left the forest, never to return. She was last seen in a small village a day's ride from Silverymoon, mending pots for twenty coppers apiece.

The Sturdy Feet of Pim
After single-handedly driving a band of demons from his village's traditional burial grounds, the young halfling archer Pim Pebblefoot became a hero to the people of his village and the surrounding communities. Although he was praised and honored by his elders (and fancied by more than a few village girls), the ever-withdrawn Pim simply took it upon himself to continue acting as the protector of the local farming communities. Rain or shine, summer or winter, the farmers and shepherds of the Gray Hills grew used to the sight of Pim standing tall (for a halfling) on a hill overlooking their fields, bow in hand and a wisp of pipe-smoke curling about his head.
Many heroes lead short, glorious lives and die valiantly to thwart some terrible threat. Although Pim's life was undeniably glorious, from fighting alongside the Knights in Silver against orc hordes to driving off giants out of the Evermoors, it could hardly be described as short. Pim lived to the ripe old age of 135 years and died in bed, surrounded by three generations of his descendants. Pim was interred within the hills he'd protected all his life, but his gear was passed on to a great-nephew who left for Neverwinter to become an adventurer. The fate of Prand Pebblefoot is unrecorded.
