Crescent Shields

Available at the Fortress of Morgul
Increases armour

A signature piece of equipment among the soldiers of Minas Morgul, the crescent shields are one of the many consistent elements in the Legions that set the Dead City’s forces aside from the other rabbles of Mordor. Built from the hardwood taken from Ithilien and forged with iron mined from the Mountains of Shadow, these shields offer greater protection to its carrier from enemy blows and higher durability than the battered shields taken from the corpses of foes.

Allows the Vanguard of Morgul to continue fighting even after death

Before a twisted soul of a tortured Gondorian is drafted into the ranks of the Morgul Vanguard, he is subjected to a series of supernatural augmentations that test the very limits of endurance. The goal of the forsaken soldier would merely be to survive the torment, as this process usually shatters the mad participant utterly, having already been weakened immensely by the maddening influence of the city. Those who do manage to overcome the test are immediately entered into the knights’ service. Affixed in a constant state of inner anguish, a member of the Vanguard Knights no longer feels remorse, inflicted pain or fear. They remain in battle even with the most grievous of wounds and at the end of their mortal lifespan.
