Passage of the Stains Gauntlet

In Light Bringer, the Passage of the Stains Gauntlet emerges as a grotesque relic of Gold savagery, an oversized powered gauntlet fitted with blood-crusted talons and a ratcheting wrist mechanism engineered for live heart extraction. Introduced amid the saga's final power struggles, it embodies the unyielding brutality that persists even as the Rising fractures old hierarchies. The gauntlet's visceral design and lethal function highlight how ancient Passage rituals continue to shape the violence of the Solar Republic's twilight years, serving as both weapon and grim reminder of the cost of conquest.
