Nut Pants

"My dear, I'm never confident when I shouldn't be." He says, nut pants worn proudly like a flag of the guild itself.
— Ephraim Bartholomew Forewind II

It is well documented that one should never tempt the Beenlost. He is at his most nefarious when plagued by boredom, a state that often leads to unpredictable mischief. It is said that when the mood strikes him, he selects an unfortunate—or, as some would say, a “willing participant”—to be the focus of his chaotic whims. Those who catch his eye often find themselves entangled in bizarre adventures, whether they wish to be or not.

Among the many strange and inexplicable wonders left in the wake of Beenlost’s antics, few are as legendary as the Nut Pants. These peculiar trousers were bestowed upon an exceedingly unlikely hero, Ephraim Bartholomew Forewind II, a man who, despite his unassuming beginnings, has left an indelible mark upon the world of Selenia.

The pants themselves are woven from an astonishing assortment of nuts—pistachios, almonds, walnuts, macadamias, argan nuts, and countless others—all seamlessly bound together by means unknown. They are both a marvel and a mystery, defying logic in their construction and durability.

The true enchantment of the nut pants, however, lies in their pockets. It is said that whenever one places a hand inside, they will always retrieve a handful of nuts. Yet, the selection is never the same twice—one might pull forth a fistful of honey-roasted pecans one moment and a scattering of salted cashews the next. No one knows the full extent of the nuts hidden within, nor whether they are drawn from some infinite storehouse of mystical legumes beyond mortal comprehension.

But one thing remains certain: those who wear the nut pants will never go hungry.
