Shield of the Five

Shield of the Five
Each of the five disciples of the Blind Prophet possessed a mighty shield that would enhance his abilities, protect him, and--when called upon--protect those around him. Although what are now called Shields of the Five are not authentic relics of this heroic band, they have been crafted to provide the same benefits.
