Wraithguard

One of the profane tools of Kagrenac, the Wraithguard is an immensely powerful gauntlet that is obtained from Vivec (the others being Keening, a dagger, and Sunder, a hammer). It is classified as heavy armor.

It is obtained either as a gift, or as spoils of a hard battle with the god Vivec. If it is forcefully taken, it will need to be activated by Yagrum Bagarn; who will need Kagrenac's notes. Upon equiping this 'jury rigged' version, it will hit the user for a great deal of damage one time. This gauntlet is needed to wield both Keening and Sunder; without the Wraithguard, there is nothing to shield the user from their unnatural power, and will cause a very quick death. Even without the use of the other profane artifacts, the gauntlet is an impressive piece of equipment, offering a great armor bonus, and a variety of enchantments.

According to historical texts, the use of Wraithguard and the other tools in a specific, and unknown ritual, allows one to connect themselves to the Heart of Lorkan, and gain godly powers (as was done by the Tribunal, and Dagoth Ur). It is heavily suggested that this played an important role in the Disappearance of the Dwarves.
