The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak[1] are devices stored at the New York Sanctum.
History[]
Origin[]
The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak were forged by blacksmiths in Babylon in the 900s BC.[2].
Stored at New York Sanctum[]
The Crimson Bands were stored by the Masters of the Mystic Arts in the New York Sanctum along with the Cloak of Levitation.[3]
Battle at the New York Sanctum[]
In 2017, during the fight at the New York Sanctum, Doctor Strange had just acquired the Cloak of Levitation. As Kaecilius threw Strange throughout the Sanctum, Strange noticed an axe on the wall near him. Desperate for a weapon, he ran over to grab it, only for the Cloak to notice the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak on the other side of the room. The Cloak managed to convince Strange to use this relic instead. Unsure of how to use it, Strange simply threw the device at Kaecilius, which trapped and restrained him.
Strange removed the mouthpiece of the device so he could understand what Kaecilius was saying. Soon after, Kaecilius' followers, the Zealots attacked Strange, forcing him to retreat. The Zealots then destroyed the device, freeing Kaecilius.[3]
Later that year, the Crimson Bands had been repaired and were hung back up on the wall of the second level of the Sanctum,[4] where they remained through 2024.[5]
