| Enchanter | Phûru Hlotho-Tam, others |
The inaugural Nightmare Helm was crafted by a Tragaran sorcerer named Phûru Hlotho-Tam. She derived the concept from flawed blueprints and formulas discovered within the dilapidated ruins of Drachlaz.
The Nightmare Helms are crafted with a deep, ebony hue and feature two ornately carved horse legs, positioned to appear as if kicking outward from the sides of the helm. Fashioned from the tails of stench cows, the helm is adorned with a striking, 2-foot long blood-red plume.
Across the realms where malevolence reigns supreme, nightmares prey upon foul bovines with greater fervor than any other. The spectral tail of the Nightmare Helm serves as the enchanted bait that allures the nightmare to heed the helm's beckoning.
Phûru Hlotho-Tam, from the Nightmare Helm item creation recipe - "The Lure"
When donning the helm, the wearer's footsteps generate diminutive clouds of pernicious low-lying smoke, an effective deterrent against minor pests.
