Shield of Piety

Description

The Shield of Piety is a kite shield made of bronze. In the center of the shield is engraved a circle with a raised dot in the middle. Three wavy lines form a triangle around the circle.

History

The Shield was found in the region of Athios by the freeman Silan Hlessi. After traveling throughout much of Arcaea, Silan had returned home to his home region to find growing rumors of monsters disturbing the local populace. Not content to allow beasts to destroy the people he loved, Silan hunted the monsters for hours, finally discovering the leader of the pack. A battle raged for many hours, but Silan's knowledge of the terrain and veteran skills with the sword were no match for the monsters' leader. Once the beast had let out its last breath, an Aenil descended upon Silan, praising him for his loyalty to his homeland and bestowing the Shield of Piety upon him as a reward.
