During the rescue of Norra Redcross, the Moonguard forces that set into Ashana's hiding place were ambushed. During this ambush, a shadowknight and her companion decided to dish quite a beating on Nelinde. As a result, her shield was cleaved and left behind in the retreat after the successful rescue. Now, without a shield, the paladin lady has requested aid from the Moonguard. Her shield is her life. Not only her best defense, but also her best weapon. The idea arose to extend this concept: A mace was to accompany the shield to become an unified set.
