Star Scorpion Command Node

The Star Scorpion Command Node is a gauntlet-like bracelet with rings that Slick took from a skeleton by a magic door in Rillachor (the skull charred around the eyes). It is a work of The Star Scorpion Guild, whose sigil it carries; its symbols closely resemble the King in Yellow seal on The Golden Envelope. It has a D&D Beyond homebrew entry.

A heavy cuff of brass and silvered steel wraps the wrist and lower forearm, linked by fine articulated channels to two rings worn on the index and middle fingers. Each ring bears a flat geometric seal: a stylised scorpion of sharp lines and crescents around pale aqua stones that seem to catch and hold the light. The piece is too large and too deliberate to be ornamental; it feels engineered. Worn, the metal tightens and settles into precise alignment, and the rings adjust to the fingers until it fits, correctly. In certain places the stones glow faintly with a steady, patient light, like something recognising its surroundings. Pressed against stone, metal or mechanisms, the seals sometimes draw a response: a hum, a shift, a memory of motion.
