The Desert’s Bounty Overview

Avowed -  The Desert’s Bounty The Desert’s Bounty Information
Weapon Type: Shield
Class: Unique
Weight: 8
Description
The original owner of this gilded shield was a powerful orlan cipher of extraordinary talent, especially when affecting the minds of others. Hailing from Abet, she gained a position of no small authority as overseer to a number of fellow ciphers. She dedicated all of her success in life to the god Wael, who she believed looked down upon her fondly and blessed her with rare talent. Using the coin she earned in her position as overseer, the cipher had this shield made, leaving all specifics of its design and embellishment to the whims of the smith except for the eye featured in its center. That, she claimed, was non-negotiable so that she'd always carry with her a conduit for Wael to observe Eora through.
