Auriel's Shield

History

Once upon a time, a small group of acolytes that journeyed across the province of High Rock accidentally stumbled upon a cave that seemed to lead to deeper, darker depths. An inscription in the entrance of the cave indicated this place as being the resting place of a map to Auriel's Shield. Later, after the Eternal Champion obtained the map, he recovered Auriel's Shield from a certain dungeon in Summurset Isle. Later on, the shield entered the possesion of an unknown person who asked for help from a Fighters Guild branch somewhere in the Iliac Bay. The Hero of Daggerfall took this quest and, after succesfully completing it, he was rewarded with the shield. Nowadays, Drelyne Llenim a curate in Ghostgate, Vvardenfell, Morrowind owns this shield.

Arena   Auriel's Shield, an Ebony Shield {Kite} said to have once belonged to the quasi-mythical Elvish deity Auriel, can make its wielder nigh invulnerable. In its resistance to fire and magick, Auriel's Shield is unsurpassed. To defend its wielder from any attacks it cannot absorb, the Shield lends him or her health. Like many artifacts of Tamriel, the Shield has life and personality of its own, and does not feel bound to its user. A popular fable tells the tale of it abandoning one wielder in her greatest hour of need, but this is perhaps apocryphal.

Morrowind Auriel's Shield - Morrowind Version Librarian's Note: This artifact of Auriel also exists in Morrowind, but, just like Auriel's Bow, it has no magical power. Basically, it's just a simple Ebony Shield with an unique name and a simple design. Perhaps the disappearance of the artifact's power is due to the lack of the god Auriel's power. No official description of the artifact exists.
