Bulwark
Shield developed in Pluralist out of the starry substance they discovered on the strait.
One of the rare few arcane devices created by Antiquities, rather than preserved. More symbolic than flashy, the artisans intended for this series to represent the rebellious first stand of the Yoked at Khoving.
The head designer, a close friend of Empedocles, would never say so, but in truth he created the shield to comfort the First Physician after the loss of his oldest and closest companion.
