Black Sanctuary is a small shield in Pillars of Eternity, added in The White March - Part I expansion.
Description[ | ]
Though its maker's mark can be traced to an otherwise unremarkable smithy in Dawning, this shield earned its fame within the keeping of Poldur Grynt, a young Aedyran lord whose fondness for dueling became the inspiration for many anti-Aedyr folksongs and plays in the time during and after the War of Defiance.
Grynt cultivated a reputation as a relentless and unbeatable foe, for whenever a duel seemed to be going poorly he would raise his black shield and resume the fight with renewed vigor. Grynt employed the shield to great effect for several years, until he finally found himself severely outmatched by a more experienced rival. Mistakenly believing that the shield could preserve him even at the precipice of death, Grynt fled the field, only to bleed out on the bank of the Isce Îen River.
Acquisition[ | ]
- [WM1] Longwatch Falls: Found in the Alpine Dragon's hoard in the ice cave.
Notes[ | ]
- The Withdraw granted by Minor Spellbind: Withdraw differs from the priest ability of the same name in that it:
- Is cast on the wielder, and not a friendly target.
- Requires that the wielder's Endurance is above 25%.
- Does not heal anything, though this is a bug and not by design.
