One of the legendary artifacts of the Order, the Robes of Dusty Dawn are the symbol of office of the Primus of House Ex Miscellanea.

Description and Powers

The most complete description of the Robes of the Dusty Dawn is in Houses of Hermes: Societates.[1] The Robes are made of fine wool lavender-rose in color. They are "fabulous treasure" and are "said to protect [the wearer] against all natural threats and every kind of supernatural creature."[1]

The Robes in Past Editions

The Robes of the Dusty Dawn were described only briefly in past editions, and the description was somewhat different.

Third and Fourth Editions

Houses of Hermes mentions the robes briefly but does not describe their appearance or powers.[2][3]

Second Edition

When first introduced 1990 in Order of Hermes the "fabled" Robes were red silk and given to Pralix by Verditius when she left to fight Dav'nalleous[4].
