Lore
These knuckles were forged by a legendary monk named Fushan, who was renowned for his mastery of martial arts and his fiery temper. He imbued his knuckles with his own ki energy and used them to challenge anyone who dared to cross him. He was eventually defeated by a rival monk named Shoukai, who used his own magic item: a pair of sandals that granted him incredible speed and agility. Shoukai took Fushan's knuckles as a trophy and hid them in his monastery, where they remained for centuries until they were rediscovered by adventurers.Related content
