Gauntlet of Grigantes

The Gauntlet of Grigantes is a legendary gauntlet purported to have been wielded by the evil god Grigantes. Forged in the fires of Hell, the gauntlet granted the evil god the strength of a thousand mortal men and enabled him to toss the god Thorideon bodily from the Baypeaks to the Great Blue. The gauntlet was apparently lost some time during the last God War and its retrieval has been the concern of numerous adventurers during the 1400's. 
==History==
Mephistopheles himself is reported to have created the gauntlet for his favorite son, Grigantes. The god of strength wielded the gauntlet throughout all three God Wars, though it was apparently lost towards the end of the third. It is written that the Raven Queen, using one of her many forms, tricked Grigantes into giving up the gauntlet and subsequently shattered it into six pieces: the five individual fingers and the body. 
At least 1,000 years before the Common Age, the legendary orc Grimgrass the Conquerer is said to have discovered the thumb of the gauntlet deep in the mountains of Varakadak, gaining a portion of the gauntlet's former strength. Using his newfound power he subsequently sacked the ancient city of Ipsilion, ended the Great North Wars, and almost single-handedly made Varakadak what it is today. 
==Today==
Today, the location of the remaining gauntlet pieces remains unknown. Thousands of adventurers have tried over the years to locate its parts, but nobody knows for sure where they lie. Most adventurers seek the gauntlet in order to take it from the hands of those who would use it for evil, but some seek it for personal gain.
