The Lady's Aegis

Though that which it is constructed of may be exceptional by rights of being rare indeed, it manages to be second only to the actual shape that the tower shield has been forged into; that evidently being an abstract homage to a Great Drake, with detailed wings, eyes, claws, and indeed even down to the snout itself. The abstract image doesn't quite do the Drakes themselves justice, of course, yet as far as shields and, indeed, even works of art go, this is quite exceptionally one of a kind. The Seraphite from  which the shield is constructed shimmers with a radiant bluish-white hue, lustrous in nature, and wholly unique to the attenuated metal that The Lady's Aegis has been constructed from. Apparently in large amounts, too, making this shield as priceless as it is beautiful. Of course, a cobalt-blue glow isn't all that Seraphite has granted The Lady's Aegis, for the shield is relatively light weight too, and offers a level of protection even greater than steel. Gold accents add the finer details to the image of the Drake, while burning crimson wildstones make the eyes. A taught leather strap of a level of tanning that surpasses which Fastheld can currently produce is secured to the back, allowing complete control over the shield when it is held in the off-hand. Finally, almost as an afterthought, an inscription on the back of the shield reads: "RAR"
