Lendoku Mar’hael was reputed to be one of the best performers of his generation. When his son, Gardoku, proved to be of only middling talent, Lendoku commissioned the development of these performance enhancers. The mage who developed the gloves heard of Gardoku’s success and began selling similar gloves to Gardoku’s competitors. The mage died shortly thereafter, outside a pub owned by the Mar’hael family.
