Desecrated Shield

The Desecrated Shield is a unique light armor shield.
== Characteristics ==
The Desecrated Shield is between a Chitin and Elven Shield in protection with twice the weight. It is one of four painted Hylian Shields, and is stronger than a normal Hylian Shield.
It is classed as an Elven material and can be tempered with a Quicksilver Ingot.
=== Effects ===
The Desecrated Shield is unenchanted and can be enchanted.
== Location ==
The Desecrated Shield is located within Sand God Passage. It is found hanging on the side of an Arcane Enchanter in the cavern preceding the entrance to the Spirit Temple.
== Lore ==
The Desecrated Shield is a Hylian Shield repainted by followers of Namira with a symbol associated with her. It represents a rejection of the Golden Goddesses in favor of the Daedric Prince of Decay and Revulsion. Its presence in Sand God Passage may indicate that the vampires there worship Namira, or that the shield was there before the vampires found the area.
== Background and Inspiration ==
The Desecrated Shield was added in version 6.5.20 of Relics of Hryule, alongside Sand God Passage and the Atrocious Shield. JKalenad intends for the Desecrated Shield and Atrocious Shield to be the last of the painted Hylian Shields.
JKalenad chose Namira for the Desecrated Shield because she received zero votes in a poll he ran asking users of Relics of Hyrule for input as to which Daedric Prince they would like to see represented in the mod. JKalenad still wanted to represent Namira, however, despite the lack of interest.
