Unflinching Duty

One of the greatest honors an Aedyran soldier can receive is to be given this shield, said to have been wielded by one of the original spearmen of the Thorned Wall phalanx. When a soldier willingly goes into a dangerous, unknown situation with slim chances of survival and comes back to tell the tale, this is their reward. Despite its age, the quality of this shield's craftsmanship is apparent, and on more than one occasion has it turned aside what would have been a mortal strike, seemingly of its own accord.
