The White Shields
by John HareCarrying oaksteel shields which are
made of light coloured woods and stained white, these shields are
special in that there is a small catch on the front of the shield
that can be rotated over to uncover the continual light spell at
the centre.
The White Shields are primarily town guards and because of the mix
of elves and humans was decided to employ some quick light source
that isn't flammable for patrolling after dark.
Occasionally some of these shields are used by trackers following
some bandits when the weather forecast doesn't look favourably to
wait until morning.
These shields are not created all by one craftsman, in fact several
where apprentice made but of decent enough quality to be enchanted
with oaksteel.
Several shields made by a certain craftsman have a special
compartment to hold a small flask. The design is worked in so well
however that there is no structural flaw because of it. It seems
that the craftsman in question had to do a stint or two in the
White Shields and liked to keep a little drink handy for those cold
nights.
