Gloves
A Mad Gent's Gloves
The reputation of the penniless aristocrat-turned-self-proclaimed High Minister of Ao spread throughout Waterdeep like wildfire. Madachi Jhent had seen a vision of the High God, Ao, and taken it as a sign that he was to lead the new church of Ao. After he kicked a homeless man in the face and cured his blindness, he attracted many more followers. His fellow ministers were even more absurd than Madachi because they lacked the particularly intense fire that lit the High Minister's madness. When Madachi began his "kicking crusade" across Waterdeep, he rightfully should have been killed within the first few hours. Unfortunately for his would-be killers, Madachi's new followers defended him fanatically.
Soon after the beginning of the kicking crusade, Madachi started to realize that some of the people he was kicking were not actually suffering from illness. As he helped his victims to their feet, he noticed that his black gloves healed wounds at a touch. His faithful were enthralled at this new miracle. Madachi spread his new brand of healing across Waterdeep for days before he ran into trouble. When the High Minister kicked a priest of Bane, the dead god of hatred and tyranny, in the face, he was throttled. To make matters worse, Madachi insisted that the priest unhand him because "no servant of a dead god is fit to touch a servant of Ao." Even without the magic of his deity, the priest of Bane was more than a physical match for Madachi and his band of lunatics.

Favor of Ilum Lura
The city of Nivian in ancient Illefarn observed an annual custom in which the six districts of the city vied for possession of the statue of a local hero. The tradition dictated that each of the districts participate in a non-lethal grand melee. The last combatant standing claimed the prize for his or her district. Since civic chaos was not the desired effect, each district had a champion that fought for its citizens. Though not required, champions often enjoyed a large morale boost when they had the patronage of a noble family.
In -1239 DR, the champion of the Artisan's District was a man named Beloran. Beloran was a man seemingly possessed by his desire to win the championship for his district. He had tried to do so for six years and failed each time. Unbeknownst to the citizens of the city, Beloran's sole motivation for participating in the melee was to earn the favor of the emperor's niece. The beautiful woman, Ilum Lura, had always politely rejected Beloran's advances. After six years of misplaced civic pride, Ilum's father commanded his daughter to give Beloran a token of her favor. She reluctantly did so, giving him a pair of riding gloves that he wore pinned to the shoulder of his sword arm. To the surprise of everyone outside the family, Beloran fought more ferociously than he ever had before. He won the statue for the Artisan's District. As custom dictated, this also meant that he was to receive a kiss from the lady whose favor he had worn into battle. Ilum gave Beloran his kiss and immediately retreated to her family estate.
In the following months, an inflamed and confused Beloran tried in vain to kindle a relationship with the elusive Ilum. She eventually agreed to meet with him, but only told him that her heart belonged to another. Deranged with grief at this revelation, Beloran journeyed into the deepest forests of Illefarn and was never heard from again. Those who saw him leave Nivian said that he was still wearing Ilum's favor upon his shoulder.

Flaming Gloves +2
Known more for his flamboyant personality than his fighting technique, Glassun Moss represented everything most monks hate. He was impulsive, driven to acts of charity, followed by acts of extreme cruelty. He was lustful, talkative and boastful. Why he became a monk, no one really knew, except that he liked to fight with his hands. One night, in a drunken brawl, Moss lit his hands on fire. Despite the pain, he was so pleased with the fear in his opponent's eyes; he sought these legendary gloves for the rest of his life.

Grainstone Gloves
After a holy war between the Church of Shar and an alliance of the faiths of Kossuth, Lathander, and Selûne ended in an ambiguous stalemate (the Alliance of Light was too numerous to be eliminated, and the Order of the Dark Moon too insidious to be rooted out completely), Rialla Grainstone’s assassinations were curtailed by the leaders of the Order. In quiet meditation and martial study, she achieved the rank of Master of the Dark Moon, the highest rank below that of the leadership of the Order.
Over the years following the legendary war of assassination, Rialla Grainstone became a sort of myth among the faithful of Shar's enemies, particularly Selûne. Thought to have been killed during the war, her ghost was said to still stalk the worshippers of the moon goddess and snatch them away to Shar's dark realm. Her final fate is unrecorded, but the existence of several of her personal magic items outside the hands of the Order of the Dark Moon seems to suggest that she was unsuccessful in her final mission. Then again, maybe that's exactly what Rialla wants the world to think.

The Industrious Hands of Pim
Halflings have a reputation for being merry and somewhat frivolous. Not so Pim Pebblefoot, a quiet, solemn halfling boy from a small village near the Gray Hills. When a traveling merchant reported seeing strange creatures skulking around the halfling burial grounds to the east, Pim volunteered to stand watch over the community's graves and eliminate the monsters before they could defile the tombs. Alone and unarmed save for his trusty bow, the keen-eyed young man stood vigil for three days and nights, driving away the strange demons that seemed intent on violating the community's tombs.
At last, on the third night, the demons came upon Pim en masse, swarming across the hillside like a carpet, but the halfling archer's long practice shooting rabbits in the evening served him well. When the village sent scouts to check on him the next morning, Pim was found weary but unharmed amidst the corpses of dozens of the strange creatures, each pierced by a single, fatal arrow.

Ysridain's Touch
Besides his prized lute, the seductive half-elven minstrel Ysridain's most valued possessions were his hands. During one of his most famous affairs, Ysridain managed to seduce one of the most powerful wizards in old Waterdeep. This wizard, Crestana, cherished Ysridain's company so much that she crafted anything he wanted at the slightest suggestion. The product of one such request was a pair of fine, thin gloves that protected Ysridain's hands and made him even more charming.
Though few believe that Ysridain needed the help, he accepted the gloves happily. Unfortunately for the wandering bard, Crestana had also imbued the gloves with a power that made it more difficult for him to lie. When Ysridain began an affair with a few other Waterdhavian ladies, Crestana quickly caught wind of it. Caught leaving the home of one lady, Ysridain tried to talk his way out of the situation. Due to her enchantments, Crestana quickly saw through Ysridain's lies. Crestana unleashed her full magical force on the bard in a public park. It was the end of him. Though local authorities understood Crestana's motivation, they had to make an example of her. They banished her from Waterdeep and she was never heard from again.
