Black Shield

Black Shield

The black shield is a power level 6 shield that is crafted with a blacksmith's bench. The recipe is unlocked after studying the battle-scarred black metal vestige, which can be purchased from Postie Pete's Evil Emporium for 300 infernal fragments. Unlike the black weapons, the shield cannot be found in chests in Dowdun Reach. It can be ascended at the mystic forge using ascension cores.

This shield does not have a special effect, despite being an ascendable vestige.

Given how long it takes to acquire black metal bars, this shield should only be crafted and/or ascended for the sake of fashion.

Journal

The following text is transcribed from the Journal.

More and more of the afflicted began talking in the voice that Rasmodel recognised: the voice from his recurring dreams. They were a chorus, moved from the land of dreams to his waking nightmare. Doubt burned in him. Was this epidemic his fault? Was it here for him?

He couldn't hide his relationship to the epidemic anymore. When he walked past the afflicted, they would move from incoherent to coherent. They would sit up and speak to him. The message was the same: "submit to the Dreaming Stone". There were variations on that theme: use the Dreaming Stone; spread its energy; offer your mind to it.

Lod Rasmodel was resolved. He would never submit. Perhaps therein was the trap. Perhaps it was shrewd psychology to make him destroy the stone.

But destroy it he did. All it took was a single blow from his warhammer. A great and savage arc. As the crystal shattered and the shards punctured his skin, he felt peace. The voices were silenced. he knelt, bleeding and happy.

And then the aftershocks came.
