Current Weaver Gauntlets

Sleek and Aerodynamic: Minimal protrusions or sharp edges are designed to reduce drag in the water or air resistance while fighting on land. It is also intended to allow the user to deflect blows with ease (with the proper training, of course).

Articulated: It is highly flexible at the wrist and finger joints. Each finger segment is individually articulated with small, overlapping plates to allow full control of the fingers.

Engravings/Markings: Each pair is engraved with flowing patterns unique to the warrior and depicts his or her lineage, major deeds, and mastered styles. At the top of the hand is a central motif of the Maiden's Star.

Rite of Passage: For Elves who have studied martial arts, whether unarmed, archery, or armed, receiving these gauntlets is the culmination of their training.

Symbol of Authority: Only expert and dedicated Elves can wear them. They command respect and have been used as a barometer for advancement in the military ranks.

Heirlooms: The guanlets of great warriors of the past have been kept with their engraving emphasized to memorialize their great deeds.

For the 'Water' Elves, the Current Weaver gauntlets are not just protective gear, but an example of his or her mastery over their element and a testament to their rigorous training. They symbolize that this warrior guides and manipulates the currents of battle like the Maiden could manipulate the currents of the very water.
