Atrocious Shield

The Atrocious Shield is a unique heavy armor shield.
== Characteristics ==
The Atrocious Shield is equal to an Orcish Shield in protection with almost half 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 Steel Ingot.
=== Effects ===
The Atrocious Shield is unenchanted and can be enchanted.
== Location ==
The Atrocious Shield is located within Ironbind Barrow. It is found in the room with a fire pit in the center, below a trapdoor. The shield is resting on the top shelf of the bookshelf to the right of the doors.
== Lore ==
The Atrocious Shield is a Hylian Shield repainted purple with a black butterfly by followers of the Mistress of Atrocity. It represents a rejection of the Golden Goddesses in favor of the Mistress of Atrocity. Its presence in Ironbind Barrow indicates that Ancient Nords found it and hid it or forgot it. The identity of the people who crafted the shield is unknown.
== Background and Inspiration ==
The Atrocious Shield was added in version 6.5.20 with the Desecrated Shield. It is intended to be the last of the painted Hylian Shields. 
The Atrocious Shield bears the symbol of Madama Butterfly from the Bayonetta franchise. JKalenad chose to represent Bayonetta as he felt the franchise would be completely unexpected. Madama Butterfly was chosen as she would be the most recognizable, and gave JKalenad the opportunity to make a purple Hylian Shield.
