Gildmended

Gildmended warriors bear the legacy of the Goldfists' brutal rituals, their wounds and dismemberments mended with molten Solar Gold. This process, known as Gildmending, fuses the precious metal directly to their flesh, creating a painful but resilient bond. These warriors are permanently altered, their bodies strengthened by the gold but also marked with searing scars. The Gildmended endure constant pain and the weight of the gold, which enhances their strength but erodes their humanity, turning them into living weapons bound to the will of the Gildsworn. The once sacred ritual is now a symbol of their irreversible commitment to the Goldfists.
