Kalzaam can attach his shield to this gauntlet and can use it to support his crossbow while not wearing the shield.Biography:Kalzaam wasn’t named Ironhand when he was born, he was called Stonespitter, just like his father. Kalzaam Stonespitter worked as a mason for Prince Gorash and helped build his stronghold after King Borgal died. Early in the construction, Kalzaam was involved in an accident. A great block of stone fell upon him and crushed his right hand. The hand had to be amputated and Kalzaam could no longer work as a mason. In the night following the accident Kalzaam dreamed of Tyr. He saw the courage of Tyr, he saw this: Fenrir (or Fenris) is a gigantic and terrible monster in the shape of a wolf. He is the eldest child of Loki and the giantess Angrboda. The gods learned of a prophecy which stated that the wolf and his family would one day be responsible for the destruction of the world. They caught the wolf and locked him in a cage. Only the god of war, Tyr, dared to feed and take care of the wolf. When he was still a pup they had nothing to fear, but when the gods saw one day how he had grown, they decided to render him harmless. However, none of the gods had enough courage to face the gigantic wolf. Instead, they tried to trick him. They said the wolf was weak and could never break free when he was chained. Fenrir accepted the challenge and let the gods chain him. Unfortunately, he was so immensely strong that he managed to break the strongest fetters as if they were cobwebs. After that, the gods saw only one alternative left: a magic chain. They ordered the dwarves to make something so strong that it could hold the wolf. The result was a soft, thin ribbon: Gleipnir. It was incredibly strong, despite what its size and appearance might suggest. The ribbon was fashioned of six strange elements: the footstep of a cat; the roots of a mountain; a woman's beard; the breath of fishes; the sinews of a bear; and a bird's spittle. The gods tried to trick the wolf again, only this time Fenrir was less eager to show his strength. He saw how thin the chain was, and said that was no pride in breaking such a weak chain. Eventually, though, he agreed, thinking that otherwise his strength and courage would be doubted. Suspecting treachery however, he in turn asked the gods for a token of good will: one of them had to put a hand between his jaws. The gods were not overly eager to do this, knowing what they could expect. Finally, only Tyr agreed, and the gods chained the wolf with Gleipnir. No matter how hard Fenrir struggled, he could not break free from this thin ribbon. In revenge, he bit off Tyr's hand.After that dream, Kalzaam decided to join the order of Tyr, so that he could show his courage too.Appearance: Kalzaam looks old for his age, his face is weathered and his beard is thick and long. He is not very long but has a very sturdy build. Around his right arm he has a large metal bracelet with a thick sheet of metal at the same place where his hand used to be.</blockquote>
