Ghoul Gloves

Ghoul Gloves - gloves which soak the hands in formalin.

How rare is it?

• The materials used themselves are not rare
• Due to the craftsmanship involved, they are often rare and special finds
• Generally made for a person's individual hand shape, so they are not easy to resell/reuse

What does the item do? How does it work?

• The glove is used to generate torches, and can propagate bakelite candles
• These candles/torches are poisonous however
• They are also often containing ports which cycle formalin through the body and saturate the hands
• In the case of emergency, they can be broken down and made into truth pearls
• The reason few end up being preserved is because there's no resell value aside from mining cheap truth pearls from them, and they often aren't as effective
• They're also called "Truth Gloves" and are used as recreational purposes as well as in crude interrogations
• If they are removed, the formalin-soaked hands of the wearer usually contains enough formalin to subdue an enemy. They are a multi-purpose tool used specifically by the Order of Bloodwoad.

What’s the history of this item?

• These were originally a technology devised by Coriniaid, who would cast the hands of corpses to give to young Coriniaid
• They were made from concentrated formalin, which Coriniaid (and some of the Milenakos species they follow) have a tolerance to, which becomes a resinous material when heated
• The Myacoris who hung around the Coriniaid pools and tar pits, would collect these casts and use them as resources
• Theoretically these gloves can be made from other elements which can create a resin cast, but formalin is the most widely used.

What’s this item made of?

• It is made of resin extracted from formalin, similar to Bakelite
• It is tailored specifically to users of Citron lithomancy
• They are often decorated with other metals such as jewels, amplifying minerals, and other accessories.
• The Ghoul Gloves of powerful members of the Court of Woad and Blood are kept as relics
