Alacrity Bands were conjured by The Divine Coterie as a means to quicken their tumbling, juggling, and stage combat in order to further impress their audiences. They didn't care if the crowd was made of peasants or nobles -- they just wanted to put on an amazing show. When a half-drunk and superstitious baron accused them of witchcraft for possessing such agility and ordered them burned at the stake, the performers found another purpose for the Alacrity Bands: defending oneself and attacking one's assailant with a stunning level of speed and zeal. It was a short matter of time before the accessories were carried into battle, and the mass graves began to fill faster than ever.
