    How about 'Dance of Dreams' ?
    One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

        The dance is always danced above the hollow place, above the terrible abyss.

          ...and there's your flavour text right there. That's ... spinechilling.

              Maybe one more name, but I'm not sure. What do you think?

              The Large Metal Shield of Twenty-Three Magicks

              From a Mongolian myth. Atai Ulaan "made thirteen magicks dance on his palm and twenty-three magicks dance on his fingers".

              Skultgard sorcerers are big on numerology.

                I didn't take the time to read anything, so I hope I'm not way outta sync here. I saw your post and my brain said here you go: A main gauche (french for left hand) called Sinister Reminder (sinister also meaning left handed, i think)

                The enemy is all, damn, that melee attack was rough! oh yeah, he has a left han~ *dead*

                  Ha ha, I didn't know that!

                  Latin sinister = left handed

                  Alas, there's no main gauches in HoM anymore.

                    The Chainmail of Filigree and Shadow

                    Which also happens to be one of my favourite albums...


                    More gaps than chain, yet hypnotically enchanting patterns of steel encircle the shadows.

                      A beautiful name.

                      I've never listened to the band. I'm listening to the album right now on YouTube and liking it!

                        The leather gloves could improve alchemy, maybe "of Paracelsus" or "of the Still".

                        Perhaps "Head of the Gorgo" for the remaining shield? Gorgon heads as warding symbols were apparently rather common in Greece. http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorgoneion

                          Alchemy is a good idea. Paracelcus is a slightly too well known name for my purposes... How about The Leather Gloves of Agathodaimon?

                          The Large Metal Shield 'Gorgon's Head' sounds good to me. Lots of fitting pictures on Google!

                            I'm not perfectly happy with using the original owner's name with the gloves. A descriptive name would be better.

                            Lots of cool alchemical terms here.

                            The Set of Leather Gloves of the Lunar Chymist?

                              That's a nice link!

                              I guess it's a rather low level artifact. So maybe they could get a slight vulnerability to fire and be named "of the Lunatic Chymist" ? Though this might be a bit on the silly side...

                                The Set of Leather Gloves 'Sceptical Chymist'

                                (It's a book.)
