The Deep Hand
The Deep Hand is a legendary gauntlet said to grant psychic powers to its wielder.
Summary
Long ago, the Mind Flayers of the Underdark found a young, weak black dragon and placed a tadpole on it. As it grew and ceremorphosed into a Brainstealer Dragon, it took the name Zaolythor. It began to consume minds from afar, causing an entire region of the world to lose all their memories. Eo Dreamsong, a cleric of XXXX, managed to hunt it down and through the power of XXXX, sealed its power into the gauntlet. Eo wielded the gauntlet for a time, but it began to trouble his mind as the power of Zaolythor seeped out. He gifted the gauntlet to the dwarves of Domdorth, trusting them to watch over it, but shortly afterward an earthquake struck, unexpectedly burying sections of the city. The gauntlet was lost in the collapse.
Historical Basis
There is evidence suggesting at least some truth to the myth. Domdorth was partially buried in an earthquake several centuries ago, and there is evidence in records of a gauntlet matching that description being lost. No notable amounts of lost records exist to suggest the consumed memories.
