The Bands of Power, forged by the Mountain Dwarves of the Silverscar Clan in a fortress known as Karak Dorn during the time of The Calamity, is a set of bracers, etched with a multitude of ancient runes and geometrical scrawlings. They are made of solid adamantine, a material that is extremely rare in the common era of Exandria. During the height of the wars erupting all across Wildemount, the dwarves of Silverscar were being constantly pushed out of the lands now known as the Godless Expanse. Enemies of all kinds were using this chaotic war and an opportunity to conquer, alter, or destroy the previously civilized territories. Thus, all manner of battles took place, in which the dwarves had little to no chance of success. So, in their desperation, the Runesmiths of Karak Dorn pooled all of their arcane might into a singular set of bracers that would be gifted to the clan's strongest warrior, in the hopes of turning the tide of war. And so, along with many artifacts the Silverscars had created, the Bands of Power were forged. For a time, The Thain that wore this Vestige of Divergence did lead many a successful and decisive victory against the enemy. However, this war soon took it's tole on the clan, and it would only be a matter of time before they would be wiped out completely. Thus, the Thain made the most difficult choice and called for a full retreat into the mountains. Before doing so, the Thain new he had to lock these Bands of Power away, to never be found again. So, he took a small group of excavators and dug out a tomb where he and his bands would be buried and hidden. Their they rested, until new heroes would stumble upon them, hoping to fight back any evil that still walked Exandria
