Leyland's Shroud

Leyland's Shroud is a magical cloak, associated with Vox, the Travesty of Misdirection. The Shroud was bestowed to Leyland Horseturner, a Mountain Dwarf who was tasked with exploring The Underdark. His companions were slain by a Drow hunting party, and Leyland begged the gods for aid. He attracted the attention of Vox, who granted Leyland the shroud, to allow him to turn invisible and escape. However, Vox was the patron saint of the Drow, and instead, the Shroud was a ploy to lead the Drow to him, and left a trail for the Drow to follow. Leyland was slain in his sleep shortly after.
The Shroud grants the wearer advantage on Stealth checks and allows them to become invisible for up to 1 minute a day. However, while invisible, the wearer leaves a faint trail of shadow wherever they walk, while gives others advantage on Survival checks to follow them.
