Gauntlets created by the Nohuta and once worn by the Herald of the Maw.
Hidden lore — revealed in game at high Inferno or Radiance
Being the last of the Adaluk, the man who eventually became the Herald of the Maw was all too familiar with death, having seen the few remaining members of his race die until he alone remained. In his despondency he found the Nohuta and Umbral, followed by purpose.
