Cleric's Scallywag Gauntlets of the Flame Legion

Cleric's Scallywag Gauntlets of the Flame Legion gleam with a midnight sheen, their leather a whisper of ash and rain, stitched with brass filigree that catches the light like embers. The back of each glove bears a copper sigil—an ember-flame curling upward—that seems to shimmer whenever a spark is near, as if the gauntlets themselves crave the heat of battle. The knuckles are protected by worn, riveted plates, pocked with tiny scratches from voyages and skirmishes, while the cuffs flare slightly, hinting at a pirate’s swagger beneath the cleric’s discipline. They feel heavy with history, as if they’ve absorbed prayers and oaths and the sour tang of gunpowder, all pressed into a single, dangerous ensemble. If you cradle them in the palm and tilt your wrist, you can almost hear a chorus of whispered stories: a cleric who kept faith aboard a raiding ship, a healer who learned to barter mercy for momentum, a scallywag who swore allegiance to fire and flame. Lorekeepers claim these gauntlets were forged in the heat of a siege, by a craftsman who understood both ritual blessing and reckless bravado. The Flame Legion’s mark—the ready blaze and the oath-bound lock of flame—loops across the forearm, a reminder that power here is never merely purifying; it is transformative, volatile, and ripe for risk. In the wilds of a battlefield or the bustle of a market town, the Cleric’s Scallywag Gauntlets are less a fixed build piece and more a narrative hinge. Wearers find they channel warmth and warding with equal ease, weaving healing energies through a protective mantle while letting the fire answer the call of aggression. They invite a hybrid playstyle: a healer who can draw a rival’s attention into a controlled blaze, a guardian who can pivot from shielding to searing without missing a breath. The sigil on the back isn’t just ornament—it’s a quiet pact that the wearer will push the flame to guard their companions, not merely scorch their foes. It’s a pair of gloves that invites cooperation: you heal, you shield, and you ignite the moment your team needs a spark. Market whispers add a rough, human layer to the legend. I watched a trader near the Saddlebag Exchange haggle with a sapphire-eyed buyer, the kind who tucks away a purse of coins as easily as a map folds. The gauntlets, gorgeous as a night ship’s hull, drew round figures—the kind that roll between 15 and 22 gold in a good week’s market, depending on the flame’s mood and the buyer’s patience. The Saddlebag Exchange clerk, counting copper and story in the same breath, offered a careful valuation, not a mere price tag, and the negotiation threaded through tea-stained notes and a few well-timed smiles. In that moment, it wasn’t simply an item changing hands; it was a thread drawn tight between lore, labor, and livelihood. So the Cleric’s Scallywag Gauntlets of the Flame Legion remain more than ornament or stat sheet. They are a bridge—between mercy and mischief, between ritual and rebellion, between the sanctum and the ship’s rail. In the hands of the right keeper, they don’t just fight or heal; they tell a story of a world where faith can flirt with flame, and where every hand that wears them carries a small, bright ember of destiny.
