Carrion Rogue Gloves of the Flame Legion

Carrion Rogue Gloves of the Flame Legion rest on the palm of a weathered market-hand, their leather supple as a thief's whisper. The back is stitched from tanned hide patterned with ash-gray veins that crawl when lit by candlelight, like coals breathing just beneath the skin. The knuckles are reinforced with riveted brass filigree, scarred with scorch marks that speak of alchemical tests and hastily quenched flames. A vein of cinnabar thread runs along the cuff, catching and refracting lamplight as if a tiny furnace were tucked inside the glove. On the palm, a sigil of the Flame Legion purrs in a faint glow, a relic of a brutal alliance between roguish cunning and fire-born zeal. The texture carries the memory of a long road: oiled, grippy, and just rough enough to keep one from losing a grip on a slippery loot bag. The scent is a mix of smoke, ash, and leather that tells tales of caravans rolling through ember-lit nights. In the world, these gloves are more than gear; they are a thread in a larger tapestry, linking a rogue’s cunning to a crusade of flame and memory. They hint at a time when the Flame Legion sought to temper desperation with iron and ember, and a thief agreed to wear their mark rather than be crushed by it. For a player skimming shadows, the gloves offer more than protection: they invite risk, courting the line between loyalty and betrayal, between a clean kill and a dramatic, heat-blinded mistake. Market stalls hum with a mix of curses and trade as a quiet wind lifts the edge of a map. The gloves’ sigil glints whenever a lantern dips, as if a small sun were trapped inside the leather. For those who chase stories as much as loot, the item is a passport—proof that a shadow can carry heat. Some nights the road-worn courier will swear the gloves drew a path through a burned ruin, as if they were a compass. Yet price matters, and the word on the Saddlebag Exchange is that such gloves move like smoke from a crackling hearth—quietly, but with an edge. A seasoned dealer will verify their authenticity by the warmth of the sigil and the evenness of the stitching; an impatient buyer might haggle over a handful of jade and a vial of resin. The chatty brokers speak of the gloves' versatility: they are at once an impediment to thrusting hands and a catalyst for quick, clean strikes. The price quoted isn't only gold, but stories, favors owed and routes that keep rovers fed on the road. On nights when the flames die down and the market glowers with lantern-light, the gloves stay on the table, waiting for someone who knows their worth and their cost. They remind us that in this world, power comes with a story—an ember-laden tale of loyalty tested, of a rogue who learned to walk with the heat, rather than be burned by it. The gloves carry fire, and that fire carries them.
