Heretic Shield

The Heretic Shield is a unique heavy armor shield.
== Characteristics ==
The Heretic Shield is between a Falmer and Dwarven Shield in protection with the weight of a Dwarven Shield. It is one of four painted Hylian Shields, and is equal in strength than a normal heavy-armor Hylian Shield.
It is classed as an Elven material and can be tempered with a Steel Ingot.
=== Effects ===
The Heretic Shield is unenchanted and can be enchanted.
== Location ==
The Heretic Shield is located inside the Cult Headquarters within False God Passage. It is sitting on an altar facing a cage containing two Wolfos.
== Lore ==
The Heretic Shield is a Hylian Shield repainted red with black paint covering the lower two pieces of the Triforce and a symbol representing the Trident of Power. The shield was painted by members of the Cult of Ganon and was used by recruits. It was one of several shields of its kind, but other Heretic Shields were destroyed or lost.
== Background & Inspiration ==
The Heretic Shield was added in version 6.5.18 of Relics of Hyrule alongside the Ganon Cultist Robes (which bear the same Trident of Power symbol). The shield was intended to develop the story of the Cult of Ganon.
JKalenad intended for warriors of the Cult of Ganon to carry Heretic Shields, but decided to add only one. The Trident of Power was chosen for the cult's symbol as it represents Ganon as a force of destruction and serves to ignore his mortality.
