When Azunai’s legendary Shield was struck by Zaramoth’s Sword, it broke into four pieces. Each fragment was inscribed with one of the four Azunite symbols, having strangely broken along clean lines. These fragments were lost and eventually forgotten only to be found hundreds of years later by those who sensed their power. The Aegis of Life was found by the Elves of Greilyn and placed in the Temple of the Coast, whereit was watched over first by the Elves, then by the Dryads who came to live on the island after them. The Dryads performed their duty well until Valdis and his armies stormed Greilyn and stole the Aegis.It is rumored that the Aegis of Life grants he who controls it the power of life over all things. The Elves once used it to augment their lifespans and heal those who were thought beyond all hope. The Dryads harnessed its power to grow the trees of their village into gigantic proportions andto turn their isle into the lush paradise it is today. Conversely, Valdis and his Dark Wizards had an entirely different use for this Aegis — to animate the dead.
