To walk the path of the Iron Hand is to give your body as a sword is given to a master smithy, it will be improved upon. Sharper, stronger and more deadly.

Monks of this tradition encase their hands in cold steel to make them more resilient and hit harder than flesh and bone. These gauntlets are never removed and are the symbol of the way.
