It is a place where darkest deeds occur often - from slavery to necromancy.
It is a place where various factions compete for power both within the cave-city, and for power outside as well.
One of such factions are 'Sisters of Bones', a secretive sisterhood of women who practice necromancy.
I've made a deal with one of the Sisters, a deal to enchant a helmet for gold.
What are properties of enchanted helmet?
... well, i'll tell why first.
Just as a chain which is as strong as its weakest link, i've analyzed my strengths and weaknesses.
Conclusion is that despite my earlier efforts, my lack of strong willpower is still my worst weakness.
Also, considering that occasionally act as a scout, my perceptions lack as well.
... so the helmet would increase my willpower and perceptions.
... i've called it: 'Helm of Aware Mind' - it not only shields mind somewhat, but also makes me aware of surroundings, so i have intuition where to look and when.
Most of helmets hinder vision, but this one is different, opposite in this respect.

Description:
A well-made steel helmet enchanted to increase wearer's awareness and to shield his/her mind.
Enchantment process:
Isendir made a deal with Sister of Bones, a deal to enchant his helmet for gold.
After reserving time in laboratory & paying the fee, Sister prepares for a ritual of empowerment.
She focuses on her pineal gland - a thrid eye chakra - to impart her superior mind abilities on helm's wearer.
She purifies Helmet by draining unneccessary energies from it, then crushes moonstone and amethyst, mixes powders with oil - then spends energy.
She meditates, deeply visualizing herself and all 7 of chakras, then shifts attention to her 3rd eye chakra. She visualizes energies falling from her thrid eye onto a helmet she holds in her hands.
She smears the gem-powder & oil into helmet, spreading the mixture evenly.
Then she lights a candle and using tongs holds oiled helmet in a candle-flame, letting oil burn with smoke.
Spell she uses is 'Owl's Wisdom' for imparting mind protection and awareness qualities into the helmet.
Form she meditates on are chakras and their balance, then sends energy rays around that build up into powerfield (mandala).
Sister of Bones oversees energies as they flow, speaking arcane formulas as neccessary and correcting errors as they arise. After a proper amount of time, when all energy points are opened and joined with energy channels, she uses forms that give appropriate properties on each of them, then closes enchantment, finishing.
Helmet of Aware Mind is ready, she seeks Isendir and gives it to him.
He will check the item in a real combat.
