Ardebil Carpet (artifact)

An artifact completed during the rule of the Safavid Shah Tahmasp I, in the mid-16th century, measuring 38’ long by 18’ wide. The inscription upon the carpet, “I have no refuge in the world other than thy threshold; there is no protection for my head other than this door,” reveals it’s use.

Created as a means to converse with the prophet Mohammed or to present oneself in the presence of Allah, the carpet will allow transport to any plane of existence or to any place in the Prime Material Plane, for as many as the carpet will allow, merely by kneeling, facing the direction of Mecca and speaking the invocation. A second invocation will return the user back to the carpet.

Only an anachronistic image is available.
