Beyl Van Yoren was a young student in the monastery of the Dark Moon who was seduced away from her order by a local transmuter named Vergol. To punish Beyl for her desertion, the Order's elder monks contracted a rival spellcaster to arm several of their best remaining students with these bracers, hoping the bracers would prove a match to Vergol's haste-inducing spells. However, the Order did not foresee Vergol's equal expertise with hindering spells, and the students have not been seen since.
