The followers of Naroach, a spirit of disease and poison amongst the Poxion, crafted the Sashes of Naroach to safeguard themselves from death. They are said to stop a killing blow, but inflict an unhealing malaise upon the wearer (-1 VIT; drops to min 1 resilience), leaving a black stain on the wearer as it binds or fills the wound – vanishing in the protection. Any effect which prevents malaise on the wearer will prevent the sash from working for its duration.
