The Moaning Shield is a medium-sized, round shield with a dark, metallic surface that appears weathered and battle-damaged, featuring deep scratches and dents. Its most distinctive feature is the grotesque, face-like engraving at its center, which seems to emit a faint, eerie glow under certain lighting conditions, giving the impression of moaning. The shield's edges are reinforced with a rusted iron rim, adding to its ominous and ancient aesthetic.
