Righteous Regalia
Hung at the main chamber of The Hall of Valor at Azalis Empire’s capital, the set of sword and shield appeared out of place among the other glamorous weapons, armor, and ornaments. But the broken sword and shield once belonged to the first king of Azalis Empire who fought countless invader that tried to conquer their sacred land. It is said that both pieces of equipment are still imbued with the soul of the first king. Only those whose bravery and chivalry have been acknowledged by his soul may conjure its true form. At their true form, the sword can cut through a dragon’s scales like a knife through butter, while the shield can deflect high-level magic with ease.
