Ethereal Anchor Rope

Effect
A 50-foot length of woven Ethereal boundary material that remains solid in both Material and Ethereal simultaneously. One end fixed to a Material anchor; the other carries a loop a traveler can wear. While wearing the loop, the traveler can go up to 50 feet into the Ethereal and return by following the rope back. Prevents Ethereal drift entirely while tethered. If the anchor is moved or destroyed while the traveler is in the Ethereal: WIS save (TN 14) or lost in the Ethereal for 1d4 hours. Supports up to 3 simultaneous tethered travelers.
Uses
Permanent.

About

Made by a scholar who lost her research partner to Ethereal drift and spent six years perfecting prevention. The knots at each end were tied by a Gate Keeper, which is the uncomfortable part of the provenance she does not discuss.
