"His eyes fell upon mine, became a cold, uncaring glow. It wasn't love or hate, you see. It was, well......I don't know."
——Cyril Valour, reciting his encounter with an owner of The Iron Fist

Description

This perfectly measured Spiked Gauntlet is made of unpolished iron, and is cold to the touch. It lacks ornamentation save a coat of arms on the back of the hand featuring a clenched mailed fist emblazoned over a plain pointed crown. The gauntlet gives off a faint hint of frost from between its plates.

Lore

The Iron Fist was made for a dictator who presided over a small empire built on industry. In order to better control his citizens (the bulk of his workforce), he had this piece of armor constructed by his council of mages. They infused some of his cold, calculating and tyrannical essence within so that future generations of rulers might maintain control of the empire with greater ease.
