Messenger's Shield

A Messenger's Shield is a magical brand and a form of ancient blood magic used by royalty and major trading companies to designate messengers authorized to speak on their behalf. When marked with this magic, the messenger bears the family crest of their patron on their skin until the patron's death or revocation. Harming any messenger with a Messenger's Shield is considered a serious offense, while harming an envoy bearing a royal crest is a direct violation of the Tarlyn treaties and a potential declaration of war.
