Lore

The Battlemage’s Wristguard was created by a legendary spellcaster named Tharion, who was renowned for his mastery of both arcane and martial arts. Tharion was a member of the Order of the Silver Star, a secretive organization of mages who sought to protect the world from the threats of the Shadowfell. Tharion specialized in fighting against the undead and other creatures of darkness, using his powerful spells and conjured weapons to strike them down.

Tharion crafted the Battlemage’s Wristguard as a personal project, using his own blood and arcane essence to infuse the leather and brass with his magic. He wanted to create a device that would allow him to switch between casting spells and wielding weapons with ease, as well as enhancing his defenses and offensive capabilities. He spent years perfecting the design and enchantments of the wristguard, testing it in various battles and scenarios.
The Battlemage’s Wristguard became Tharion’s signature item, and he earned many accolades and honors for his deeds with it. He was feared by his enemies and respected by his allies, and he became known as one of the greatest battlemages in history. He lived a long and glorious life, and eventually retired from active duty. He passed on his wristguard to his most trusted apprentice, who continued his legacy and teachings.
The Battlemage’s Wristguard has been passed down through generations of battlemages, each one adding their own stories and achievements to its history. It is considered a priceless treasure and a symbol of honor among the Order of the Silver Star. It is also sought after by many who wish to claim its power for themselves, but few can match its requirements or withstand its challenges.
