Gloves of Zaras

"Bring me my hands." - Zaras summons his gauntlets.

At a Glance
The Gloves of Zaras, also known as the "Blood Grips", were a pair of plate gauntlets possessed by Zaras Hezroukan, King of Umbraforge. Fashioned into their spike-laden appearance by Zaras himself, they were used by Zaras when he strangled his brother Cannaxis Hezroukan to death for control of the throne of Umbraforge. After becoming King, Zaras would go on to strangle thousands of criminals (guilty or now) with the resulting carnage transfusing the gloves from simple iron to powerful arcane relics.

Rumour held that the wielder of the gloves would be gifted with the strength of all the souls who had been killed by their hands. A cloud of red and black would constantly cloud over the sheen of the armour, giving them a terrifying magical quality.
