Shield of Antiquity

The Shield of Antiquity is a unique light armor shield.
== Characteristics ==
The Shield of Antiquity is between an Elven and Chitin Shield in terms of protection, with the heavier weight of the latter.
It may be tempered with a Steel Ingot, and cannot be converted into a Heavy Armor variant.
== Location ==
The Shield of Antiquity is located in Malice within The Ruptured Towers - Rage. It can be found in a locked Ancient Chest at the end of a corridor on the Throne Room's northwestern side. The chest requires the Key of Earth to be opened.
== Lore ==
The presence of the Shield of Antiquity in Rage indicates that the Hero of Winds visited the tower and left the shield behind, or that Rage was born of the memories of the Hero of Winds, or the Hero's Shade recalling stories of other heroes.
== Background and Inspiration ==
The Shield of Antiquity was added in version 6.5.0 alongside the addition of Rage. It is based on the Wooden Shield from Phantom Hourglass and Shield of Antiquity from Spirit Tracks.
The original model for the shield was made by fcp078 and was shared with multiple other shields, including the Fighter's Shield and Mirror Shield of the Tower. In version 6.6.2.A, a new baseline model and textures were created by CamelChip with additional Antiquity-specific work by Dralkkin. The core model is shared with similarly-styled heater shields, including the Outset Shield and Spirit Shield.
In version 6.6.0, the Shield of Antiquity's armor rating was lowered from 30 to 24.
