Description

These large gold bracers cover from the wrist to just an inch or two below the elbow. They are each decorated with a large ornamental gemstone of unknown origin: one blue, the other red. Along the bands are detailed scripture written in an ancient dialect of Giant, so old in fact that most giants cannot read it. Somewhere in this jumble of history lies the command word for the item's special ability for growth. Only once the correct word is found can this power be used.

Lore

These items are considered by many to be the ultimate prize for adventuring warriors.

Some speak of deeper secrets embedded within the stones of the bands, secrets of a fallen race that could possibly lead one on a path to ascension, possibly to live on the mortal plane as a titan reborn. While this has never come to pass according to common knowledge, behind every rumor lies a kernel of truth....
