Receiving the jeweled sword and shield from Thrud

In Ultima V, jeweled shields could be obtained from Thrud in Windemere, but only after joining the Oppression.

Description[edit]

Thrud demanded the password of the Resistance in exchange for these shields. Despite the high price paid for the armour, these supposedly fabulous shields turned out to be useless in combat.

Jeweled shields also appear in Ultima Underworld and Ultima Underworld II, where they actually offer very good protection.

Lore[edit]

Who can explain the ways of Evil? Why would anyone for Evil's cause or any other, forge a shining sword that can do no damage and a suit of fine plate armour transparent to a foe's blade? Seek the answer if thou wilst, but remember along thy way to beware of any highly touted gifts to thee by Thrud of Windemere, Servant of Blackthorn.
