a battle-etched rolaren wall shield†

Ingeniously crafted, the shield has been cunningly etched with an intricate battle scene. A fierce dwarven army clashes with ferocious tribal giantkin with axes and spears on a bloodstained sandy mountain plateau. Bodies from both sides litter the elaborate depiction, and of the hundreds of visible combatants each seems unique and locked in their own struggle. At the very center of the shield a tri-horned fluted spike of veil iron emerges from the scene like a pillar of splitting rock. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph. There appears to be something written on it.

In the Common language, it reads: Beards vs. Brawn. Forged by a true veteran.

The first thing that strikes you about the shield is the weight, which is about 10 pounds. In your best estimation, it's worth about 1,300,000 silvers. You can also tell that the rolaren wall shield is predominantly crafted of rolaren.

The harmonics generated tell you that the shield serves to protect from magical attacks by providing +10 Target Defense. The magical harmonics reveal that this is an item which serves as a shield when held in the left hand.
