Found in Chapter 1 by Ragnar in the Hidden Playground. It was apparently left there by Psaro's Pawn to lure the children of Strathbaile. Upon wearing it, he was whisked to Strathbaile Tower. It's one of the few items not to remain in the inventory by Chapter 5.

Etymology

The Talaria are the winged sandals worn by the Greek god Hermes. Forged by Hephaestus out of pure gold, they allowed the wearer to fly faster than any bird.
