Hey Aramis! It's Silp!

I won't be there 'cause I got some other stuff I need to be doin', but can I still ask what a livin' metal shield is? I mean, normal metal shields are pretty gross, so one that's also alive sounds pretty horrible!

Worry not, Silp. The metal is not actually living, merely a reactive, mercurial substance. Also the shield is not entirely living metal, it is merely strengthened with it. The material allows a blow or spell intended to destroy or shatter the shield to be reflected back against the attacker.

May your Hearthfire burn eternal, and your tankard endless!
