| ||||
|
TheRoyal Shield (Japanese:王家の盾Royal Family's Shield) is an accessoryitem in the shield category ofequipment that debuted inFire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. It is the target of the sub-quest "A Royal Requiem", where it must be retrieved from powerfulTerrors in theDeliverance Hideout, after which point the player can keep it. The Royal Shield offers protection to both defensive stats, and also teaches its wielder the usefulEarth's Kisscombat art, allowing them to take even less damage against magical strikes.
History
The Royal Shield was kept in the underground Zofian cemetery south of the castle, along with the remains of former Zofian kings. At some point after theDeliverance adopted the catacombs astheir hideout in their war againstDesaix, the catacombs were violated and a seal was broken which led to Terrors appearing and taking over. One of them, aGuardian, stole the Royal Shield.
After this happened, an Eerie Hermit appeared in Zofia Castle, claiming to be a man who has always watched over Zofia and its rulers. He requested the assistance ofAlm/Celica in defeating the Guardian to allow the Zofian kings to peacefully rest.[1] After Alm/Celica did so, the Eerie Hermit claimed that this was a test of strength that proved them to be worthy of inheriting Zofia, and allowed them to keep and use the Royal Shield as proof of this, then disappeared.[2]
