Snowshoes

Snowshoes were a type of footwear common in arctic regions, such as the Great Glacier and the North.
==Description==
Snowshoes were oval frames of wood, long and wide, with a web-like layout of rawhide or sinew strips laced within it.
Those sold in Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue were typically constructed with duskwood.
==Powers==
Snowshoes gave wearers the ability to walk upon the surface of snow, rather than having their feet sink within it. Thus they enabled a wearer to move faster and less impeded in arctic regions than normal footwear would allow.

* Snowshoes of speed: an arctic variant of boots of speed that were typically created and worn by arctic dwarves.
