War Gauntlets

Carl's gauntlet

Carl's gauntlets, which form over his fists involuntarily as his rage peaks over D'Nadia.

Story so far

The gauntlet is a physical tell rather than a weapon in this chapter. As Carl confronts Empress D'Nadia with what she said to Signet at The Butcher's Masquerade, he feels his fists clench — and his gauntlet forms.

It is the moment the interrogation stops being tactical and becomes personal, immediately preceding the white rage that burns all three of his eyes and the temptation described in The Edge.

Appearance

Armored gauntlets that materialize over Carl's hands when he clenches his fists.

Role

Physical manifestation of Carl's rage as he indicts the empress.

Relationships

Carl — His gauntlets, forming as his anger crests
Empress D'Nadia — The target he forms them against
