SanMuerte Fantom was serving the realm of Norland as an adventure fighting the undead and monsters the were running rampage there. He was in the region of Shiverwood, when he came upon a small undead army.
A battle took place and raged for 3 hours, SanMuerte's blows land true, shattering them to dust left and right. Then as it looks like it is over, out of the woods steps an undead champion, an evil creature with more power and intelligence than the usual lot. The smaller undead called it, Ungeheuermeister.
The champion made SanMuerte fight for his life, which almost ended when several times SanMuerte found himself flat on his back after a vicious frontal attack. The undead champion was like no other undead warrior he had met. But in the end, SanMuerte relieved the undead champion's head from its body with with an over head stroke of his sword, leaving it just a pile of bones.
Among what is left of the champion, he found treasures worth a total of 1 gold, 3 silver, plus a unique item among the loot, directly off Ungeheuermeister was the undead Shield, "Sturdy Guard". It has almost ended SanMuerte's life, for any attack to Ungeheuermeister body was always repelled. Now SanMuerte understood, "Sturdy Guard" was made totally by the undead and he was the first man to touch it. It was cool to the touch. And appeared to blend with anything that came in contact with it. No wonder SanMuerte could not tell Ungeheuermeister was using it.
When SanMuerte had remove it from Ungeheuermeister, the Shield was heavy but once he held it as part of his battle attire, it appeared to become weightless and move as one with his body.
Equipped with "Sturdy Guard", SanMuerte was off again to chase down any undead or monster that would cross his path.
Update:
I do not know how the shield came to be in the possession of an undead champ in Beleriel of Falasan, but that's where I found it after dusting him and his organized army.
