Shield of Night

A shield awarded to Swordhands of Night, cast in a bottomless black from which no light can escape.

The outer surface is only semicorporeal, providing reliable defense against attacks that are not physical in nature.

The Shield of Night can be found at the following location:

• Can be found in Bonny GaolGrace. The top level of this gaol can be accessed after using the jar lift near the bridge twice. You need to jump off at the bridge level, activate the switch, and then ride the jar going up. You will find this on the ledge behind the corpse on top of a table.
