Shield of dawn

Shields of dawn were enchanted bucklers and tower shields created by Lathander to arm good clerics against the undead.
==Powers==
Shields of dawn were created in two forms. The regular-powered small shields provided a small improvement to the wielder's armor, became +2 enchanted shields when used against undead, and glowed with a gentle white light of radius.
Great shields of dawn were enchanted tower shields that provided the wielder with good armor and possessed a +5 enchantment when used against the undead. Its white light was projected with a radius.
==History==
During the Time of Troubles of 1358 DR, the secrets of crafting shields of dawn were passed along by Lathander to his devotees. While walking the Realms, Lathander was disturbed by the numbers of undead creatures plaguing the world. He wanted to arm his clerics and the allies of the Church of Lathander in their unending quest to destroy the monsters. Since then, these shields became common gear in the possession of clerics and paladins of Lathander.
In 1372 DR, shields of dawn could be acquired via priests in the temples of Lathander in Neverwinter and Daggerford.
==Notable Owners==
* Dawnbringer Natrisse: a cleric of Lathander in Neverwinter's Blacklake District circa 1374 DR.
* Kaelyn the Dove: the half-celestial companion of the Kalach-Cha.
