During you childhood, you heard many rumours of unique weapons of great or terrible deeds, here are some that you remember…
Phial of Galadriel
A small crystal phial containing the light of Earendil’s Star. Its light is imperishable, and near it darkness cannot endure.

Gleaming steel, brass-shod with flashes of light running over its surface, this shield is astonishingly heavy and not easy to handle.
