Terminan Shield

The Terminan Shield is a type of light armor shield that can be upgraded to the Terminan Hero's Shield.
== Characteristics ==
By default, the Terminan Shield is between an Elven and Imperial Light Shield in protection, but weighing three times as much. After being reforged, it becomes equal to a Glass Shield in protection with a slightly reduced weight.
The Heavy version of the Hero's Shield is between an Ebony and Dragonplate Shield in protection, with a slightly higher weight than a Daedric Shield. The standard Shield may be tempered with Steel Ingots, while the Hero's Shields may be tempered with Dragon Scales.
=== Effect ===
The Terminan Shield initially has no inherit enchantments and thus may be enchanted.
Once reforged, the Terminan Hero's Shield gains an enchantment called the Sorrows of Termina. Block is fortified by 20%, and healing regeneration while in combat is increased by 20%. The bearer also passively resists magic by 10%, and can resist a further 75% while blocking (for a total of 85%).
== Location ==
Terminan Shields are located in a variety of places. One can be found outside near the lower entrance to Darkwater Pass, sitting among rocks by a path from a nearby bridge. They can also be found within the Rift Secret Grotto, Morwitijaal on a Stalfos, Hrodulf's House on Solstheim, and Kakariko Barracks.
Terminan Hero's Shields can only be crafted, although a heavy variant has a chance to be found within the Dark Chest of Wonders.
== Crafting ==
The Terminan Shield can be reforged into the Terminan Hero's Shield at a Terminan Forge. It can be crafted into a light or heavy armor shield, but cannot be changed between armor types thereafter.

== Lore ==
Terminan Shields were wielded by soldiers and refugees from Termina during the Last Great War of Hyrule. The shield on Solstheim may have been taken there by a Terminan refugee, by a Dwemer, or by someone who found themselves in the Dwemer ruins beneath Hrodulf's House.
The Stalfos carrying a Terminan Shield in Morwitijaal may have once been a soldier from Termina, or may have simply found the shield. However, it wears a set of ruined armor and is the only Stalfos (and only enemy) in Relics of Hyrule that carries one, so the former may be more accurate.
== Background and Inspiration ==
The Terminan Shield is based on the Hero's Shield from Majora's Mask. It uses a mesh by Tyen originally made for The Legend of Zelda - A Skyrim Modification (used with permission).
The shield was first included in a standalone Terminan Shield mod by JKalenad. This mod included the Terminan Gems, Terminan Forge, Terminan Book, and recipe for reforging the shield. The mod served as the basis of Relics of Hyrule as it includes the Forge and established much of the story of the mod.
The name "Terminan Shield" was given to the shield because of its prevalence in the land of Termina, having been found in Majora's Mask shops and serving as the game's equivalent of the Hylian Shield. The name also served to make it distinct from other Hero's Shields.
