The Runic Bulwark is a large, ornate shield with a circular shape, featuring intricate runic engravings that glow faintly with a mystical blue hue. The shield's surface is made of a durable, dark metallic material with a slightly weathered texture, suggesting ancient origins. Central to its design is a large, glowing rune that pulses with energy, surrounded by smaller, symmetrically arranged runes that enhance its magical appearance.
