📋 About This Mod
By FunkyGandalfCat
"Some have heard about the Aetherium, a rare crystal found deep in the foundations of stone, its very magic emanates from the crystal itself, a mysterious source of powerful magic. A long time ago, when Eldergleam was still young, it had a sister, an ancient tree, which its roots grew very deep in the ground, entwining the hidden veins of Aetherium, absorbing the magic of the crystal. The ill would make long journeys just to touch the tree and take little pieces of its bark, for the magic contained in it cured any type of wound or disease.
But it was just a matter of time before the tree was destroyed, the greedy would chop big pieces of bark, some would even bring carriages.
One day, the tree could not hold the mistreat any longer, and perished.
In time, what was left of the tree was soon cut down by those same people who destroyed it.
The only thing left of the tree, was a wide piece of bark, which was probably forgot while the tree was being cut down.
An unkown traveler took it, and shaped it in the form of kiteshield, and carved the symbol of the fallen tree in its memory.
The shield was passed through his generations as a heritage, till it was lost to the ages.
The Ethereal Oak Shield is a herald and memory of what was once a symbol of pureness, and heals those who wield it with respect."
