Ultima Underworld Shield of Valor, from Ultima Underworld Also Known As: shiny shield Mass: 4.8 stone Protection: 3 Durability: max Location: the sixth level

The Shield of Valor is one of the eight talismans of Sir Cabirus, representing the virtue of Valor.

Description

Once this shield was held by Lord Blackthorn, before his ill-fated temporary ascension to the throne. This shield has the fantastic ability to never break because of the magics woven into it. It is a strong symbol of virtue. It appeared in Ultima Underworld, being held by a golem on the sixth level of the Abyss on a small island in a lava lake. The Avatar showed valor to master the challenge of the golem to defeat it, and thus got the Shield as a reward. It was later cast into the lava of the Abyss, in order to banish to Slasher of Veils.

Lore

“ Once carried by Lord Blackthorn, this shield was set aside when that noble ascended to the rulership of Britannia upon the kidnapping of Lord British (a tale told in Warriors of Destiny). It is therefore symbolic of Valor, which Blackthorn also set aside when he became regent.

– from Memoirs of Sir Cabirus (Ultima Underworld)

“	The Shield of Valor, it were named. Never a finer one did I see. 'Twas Blackthorne's once, or so I've 'eard tell. But it were one o' those things easier to set aside than to take up again, an' he left it when he went to become the conscience for all the world. Ach, but that were a mess. – from Shak (Ultima Underworld)

Identification

“	That is the Shield of Valor, one of Cabirus' Talismans. It will protect your front side admirably, but 'twill not help thee if thou dost turn thy back on an enemy. – from Dominus (Ultima Underworld)

“	That's it all right, the Shield of Valor itself. Lucky ye are to have found it. Never a better shield was there fashioned, to my knowledge. – from Shak (Ultima Underworld)
