Aleyashir's Shield

An Alekiran relic named after the city's founder, Aleyashir's Shield is a magical item that will only attune to those who have royal blood. It has historically been used as a means of establishing legitimacy, particularly among the ruling houses.

Description
Jaina Olsten described Aleyahsir's shield as "quite unique in appearance". It is triangular in shape and measured approximately three feet tall and half as wide. The device featured a gold lion breathing fire on a cobalt field (as opposed to the red and gold of House Olsten. The shield had other magical properties beyond proving Aleyashir's bloodline; it also offered magical defense of the one using it.

Use
Since all of the major Noble Houses are supposedly descended from Aleyashir, any member could use the item to prove their bloodlines. However, many abstain preferring the bliss of ignorance - while they haven't proven their divine right to rule, it hasn't been disproven either.

Recent History
