Valour, Shield of Arran
Valour forms one piece of a set of unique magical items that Arran was granted by the goddess Luna herself. It is said that shortly after the conquest of the southern areas of Albion, Arran was relaxing, bathing in a silvery lake near the Susland Woods. During this moment of down time Arran found a green-golden shimmer in the centre of the lake itself, he dove to retrieve it, leaving his attendants behind.
What he found was not treasure, but a young green dragon, glistening in the sun and water. Eye-witness accounts told and retold over centuries claim that Arran wrestled the young dragon to the ground with his bare hands, sparing its life. In exchange, the dragon gave him half of his hoarded treasure and a promise to rule the Susland Woods as a vassal of the Empire for as long as he lived. Arran agreed.
After returning to the newly colonised city of Zaragoza with the treasure, a shield was found among it. When touched by anyone except Arran, a great pain would befall them. Arran took the shield, and immediately pledged his allegiance not just to Danu but to Luna as well, his men around him following suit. Since then, both deities have been revered across Albion as partners.
