The Greygold Gauntlets supposedly belonged to a notable Breizh warrior who lived at the time of King Arthair. A guardian of Tirglochog, also called the Silvery Land, this man was wealthy and powerful in his time, but also a man of the people, who routinely ensured his people’s lands were secure from attack. It is also said his daughter was a sorceress, who worked Magic on the Silver that came from his lands, ensuring it was used for good or neutral purposes rather than to finance evil endeavors. It is claimed by some that after the wars that broke out when Arthair passed, the swamp disease that ravaged the realm was a result of a curse from this daughter being made manifest. The Greygold Gauntlets themselves turned up around 100 AC, and examination has not determined their true age. While the myths around the ancient warrior are often fully believed by locals and those partial to the Aelrrigan Order, some suggest that the Gauntlets were instead made in mimicry of the tale many years after any such events took place. Regardless of this truth, the Gauntlets have emerged and submerged over the decades, but remain the property of the Aelrrigan Knight Order.
