Artifact · Gauntlets (wearable) · AttunementIts story
This matched pair of heavy gauntlets is forged from dark bronze, with golden seams that resemble the contours of mountain ranges. Their knuckles bear tiny reliefs of Atlas bracing the heavens. When worn, the metal settles snugly around the hands, and a faint constellation shines beneath each palm. Their legendary power magnifies the wearer's strength tenfold, expressed in mortal terms as the strength of a titan.
Lore
Legends say the first time Atlas wore these gauntlets, the burden of the sky became no heavier than a shield. Their power is not a license to command the world, but a promise that no burden need be faced alone.
History
Hephaestus forged the pair for Atlas, whose strength held the vault of heaven above the world. In later ages, the gauntlets passed among champions who lifted fallen gates, held back collapsing temples, and carried the wounded from battlefields. They vanished after one bearer used them to keep a mountainside from burying an entire city.
