== History ==
The history of this shield goes back to the Adaran invasion of Zybx during the Age of Strife when it was first documented in Telminon's history. This shield was born by Sir Sigurd von Kassel during the Adaran/Zybxin conflict where he carried it through most of the conflict before falling in the closing years of the war only for the shield to be taken up by his squire who raised in an attempt to save his dying lord. Though Sigurd died of his wounds after the battle, the von Kassel's were supremely grateful to the squire for his attempt and success in at least securing proper burial for Sir Sigurd. Since that time, the shield changed hands multiple times and has helped to elevate many knights and squires during times of conflict. Fate's Denial was last taken by the Rathane family in Rygild shortly after the official end of the Throne of Roses War, more commonly known as the Adaran Civil War. The Rathanes were notorious in keeping this powerful implement locked away at home and only used it for important battles and wars. The shield was lost by the Rathane's when it was requisitioned by Sir Simon Cadwin for crimes committed by the ruling Rathane lord.
