What you know
Book 3: Death's End
- Ch 49Made from a slain abyss dragon's wing membrane, bones and kidney-ash stones; it protects its user from being painted, but no foreign material can be added.
- Ch 49The umbrella protects only one person painted by Needle-Eye; two sharing it would each be half painted and half left, dying horribly.
- Ch 49It must be spun at the right speed: too slow and it sounds like a nightingale and closes, too fast and it rings like a bell and may break.
- Ch 50The princess must be kept under the spinning umbrella; if it closes she will disappear, as in the painting where she is already dead.
