Description[]
Artifact reveal[]
An impenetrable shield crafted from a scale of the black Dragon Aspect, Neltharion the Earth-Warder, before the Old Gods' corruption overcame him. The formidable vrykul king Magnar Icebreaker carried this shield into combat and won victory after victory in the face of grim odds. When he finally fell in battle, it was due to treachery by servants of the Val'kyr Helya. The shield is now entombed with King Magnar's body in the Path of Kings in Stormheim.[1]
In-game description[]
An ancient vrykul king crafted a stolen scale of Neltharion, the Earth-Warder into a bulwark of immense power. This great shield now lies by his side, deep in a nearly forgotten tomb. Reclaim this shield and you will reap not only an impenetrable guard, but also a glimpse of the mighty fiery powers of the dragon aspect himself.[2]
