Infernal Mother's Gauntlets
Weapon Archives Entry #4891: Infernal Beast Gauntlets
Classification: Mythical Weaponry, Gauntlet Type Origin: Derived from the remains of the Infernal Beasts, the mother and her cub, believed to have roamed the fiery chasms of Mount Pyrrha.Mother's Gauntlets:
Material: Crafted from the resilient, charred hide of the Infernal Mother Beast, these gauntlets are reinforced with her obsidian-like bones, bearing molten, glowing patterns.
Appearance: Dominated by an ashen-grey hue, the gauntlet showcases menacing, elongated claws at each fingertip. Lava-like channels crisscross its surface, casting a soft, hellish glow. The wrist guard, made from the Mother Beast's thick bone segment, is intricately engraved with ancient runes.
Abilities:
Heat Resistance: Provides an unparalleled barrier against intense heat and flames.
Enhanced Strength: Bestows the might of the Infernal Mother Beast, amplifying the wearer's gripping and crushing prowess.
Infernal Roar: Has the potential to emit a fearsome roar, echoing the Mother Beast's haunting call.
Flame Projection: Channels intense bursts of flame from its fiery veins, turning the hand into a tool of devastation.
Limitations:
Weight: The gauntlets, especially the mother's, are significantly hefty due to the dense materials and energies contained within. This requires the user to possess substantial strength to utilize them effectively.
Maintenance: Both sets of gauntlets demand consistent rituals or submersion in sanctified waters. The cub's gauntlets, in particular, require more frequent attention due to their unstable nature, needing rituals to calm and channel the raw energy.
Control: The explosive nature of the cub's gauntlets makes them harder to control, especially for those unacquainted with their unpredictable bursts of power.
Historical Notes:
The Infernal Beast Gauntlets' legends have been passed down through the Ashen Tribes near Mount Pyrrha. Oral traditions tell of a daring huntress who ventured deep into the heart of the mountain, confronting both the mother and cub. Recognizing the unique power each beast held, she forged two distinct sets of gauntlets post her victorious battle. These artefacts have since become symbols of courage and power, shared amongst the tribe's mightiest warriors.
Current Status:
While the mother's gauntlets were last seen adorning the hands of Thrain Firehand, the chieftain of the Ashen Tribes, the cub's gauntlets are believed to have been lost during the Night of the Red Moon, following Thrain's mysterious disappearance.
Access Restrictions:
Both sets are classified as Class-A artefacts. Interaction is strictly monitored and is only permissible with the unanimous consent of the Weapon Archives Council. Potential wielders are further screened for their ability to handle and control the gauntlets' immense power.
