It bears the family crest, and has been handed down for generations. It's irreplaceable, and if not retrieved, it will be a black mark on our honor. The burglar in question is in Grieth's employ. I'm certain the Fugue Shield is languishing in his vault about now. The cur will likely sell it to a foreign, buyer, after which it will be lost forever. You've the look of warriors about you. Impressive, to a man! Might I enlist your help in retrieving the Fugue Shield from Grieth? You'll be well rewarded, of course. Fugues are known for our generosity." — Lord Fugue,Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
