Pulsar Mantle

A heavy mantle threaded with dimly glowing strands that converge at the chest and spread across the fabric like the rays of a dying star. In its folds pulses the rhythm of distant luminaries that fade and flare anew. Those who wore it noticed a strange pattern: the closer the body comes to death, the brighter the mantle responds, as though within it awakens a core of its own, unwilling to go dark alongside its owner.
