Shield of Four Souls

The Shields of Four Souls are a unique set of shields.
==Characteristics==
Each Shield of Four Souls has identical armor rating and weight values with respect to their light or heavy armor variants. The light armor shields are between an Elven and Chitin Shield in terms of protection, with the heavier weight of a Chitin Shield. The heavy armor shields are equal to an Orcish Shield in protection, but have a heavier weight.
Regardless of armor type, the shields may be tempered with a Steel Ingot. They can be changed between light or heavy armor versions at an Alteration Table.
The blue and green shields are found as light armor shields, while the red and purple shields are found as heavy armor shields.
==Locations==
The shields are all found on four different islands in the Sea of Ghosts, which can be reached using the Ghost Ship docked at Kinolangdanzel or Itnamzand.
The green Shield of Four Souls is found on the Isle of the Deep in an Ancient Chest located under some rubble on the upper area of the island. It will be found as a Heavy Armor shield.
The blue Shield of Four Souls is found on Spirit Island, located in an Ancient Chest that is guarded by an Ice Giant. It will be found as a Light Armor shield.
The purple Shield of Four Souls is found on Dragon Roost Island, located inside an Ancient chest within the interior of the island on the third level. It will be found as a Heavy Armor shield.
The red Shield of Four Souls is found on the Isle of the Damned, located in an Ancient Chest inside the shipwreck near the center of the island. It will be found as a Heavy Armor shield.
==Lore==
The Shields of Four Souls were carried by the Hero of Four Souls or the Hero of Light during the Battle of a Thousand Heroes. The heroes carrying the shields traveled to the Forgotten Islands in search of the Temple Contingent.
==Background and Inspiration==
The Shields of Four Souls were added in version 6.5 alongside the addition of the Forgotten Islands and Ghost Ship. The blue shield is based on the unnamed shield from Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures, with the other shield colors corresponding to the tunic colors of the other Links.
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 model and textures were created by CamelChip, with additional tweaks by Dralkkin. The studs were notably changed to a silver hue reflecting the shield's Four Swords appearance, as the golden tint was less flattering on the new model.
