Groundholder

A shield passed down from generation to generation of among a famed warrior clan. The heroes
who carried it were always leading the vanguard and stood as the stalwart wall among their
comrades during the heat of battle. A symbol of courage, security and dwarven resilience. There
was a saying among the commoners and nobles alike: that as long as this shield remained in
dwarven hands, the people will endure anything bearing them ill will. An already potent magical
artefact, it came as a surprise to the smiths and tinkers of Smältdurg, when they were humbly
asked to modify and upgrade the shield with their fabled core fragments. Honoured by such a
notion, they eagerly accepted and began working on the artefact. Since core fragments weren’t
ever combined with a strongly magical item, especially of such potency as this one, the process
was long and tedious; but the fruits it bore were extraordinary. An amplification of its prior
durability and abilities was just the tip of the iceberg stemming from the adjustments. Now this
beacon hope shines ever brighter, which is much needed; for I sense that darkness unlike any
we have seen before is about to come.
