Artifact •••••


An elaborate fighting gauntlet that covers more than just the hand but extends up the arm to mid bicep. Unyielding plates of Orichalcum elaborately shaped with celestial imagery cover the fingers, the entire hand, elbow, back of the arm and all around the upper arm before it ends. A dark leather of an unknown beast forming the rest which the arm slips into. The palm itself is inscribed with one of the primal symbols of power first intoned by the Primordials in their forming of the world. This thing used in the strongest sorcerous workings of holding and form.

The Zenith Caste Solar, Sunwa, was a famed survivor of the Primordial War. When Merela was given the Crown of Thunders she took her Gens and left, travelling west across the world eventually settling along the shores of the inner sea northwest of what would one day be Dari. She would rule her own land though it never matched the Ochre Kingdom in splendor or might. 102 years after Merala would compromise with the other Solars over her rule on Meru her land joined the Realm. It was during the time of her rule over the Nefalla Kingdom that she made this weapon and carried it with her to Meru to join the Solar Deliberative. When the Kukla became the first Greater Elemental Dragon she went with her mate and captured the beast. Afterwards she would claim that nothing and no one looked more surprised than the eight pupils of that monster widening in shock when she took its tail and held it in place.

Lauded for her deed even if she lost her mate in the battle the powerful Zenith would see her end during the turmoil of the Thousand Struggles Era. As one of White Jade Feather Society her passing was hardly mourned. Buried with her panoply and many treasures her tomb lay undisturbed until the rise of the Seven Tigers after the Great Contagion. Being carried to the sixth of them by his followers
