Description:
A pair of elegant, transparent shoes crafted from a glass-like material that remains pristine and unblemished regardless of use. They fit the wearer perfectly and are magically bound to their feet. Once worn, the shoes compel the wearer to dance continuously, with stopping or removing them risking catastrophic shattering of both the shoes and the wearer.

Recovery Notes:
Recovered from a concealed chamber beneath the Pale Country’s dance halls, the shoes were found intact on a shattered alabaster floor surrounded by shards of broken glass and fragments of forgotten dancers’ memories. Their discovery was accompanied by a haunting echo of music and movement.

Function and Believed Use:
The shoes are believed to trap souls in endless motion, used as both punishment and ritual binding within the Pale Court. They enforce a curse of perpetual dance, preventing the wearer from resting or halting movement without dire consequences.

Known Incidents:
Incident 8F: A researcher wearing the shoes was compelled to dance for several days until intervention, suffering severe physical and mental exhaustion.
Incident 21R: The shoes were used as a punitive measure on a rebellious fae noble, resulting in their disappearance after continuous dance for a month.

Containment Protocol:
Stored in a reinforced, vibration-dampening case lined with enchanted silk to prevent activation.
Handling limited to experienced ritualists with emergency suspension measures in place.
No unauthorized wearing permitted; all tests require full medical support and monitoring.
Area around the containment unit is soundproofed to prevent accidental activation from external music or noise.
