The Steel Tower Shield is a massive shield crafted from reinforced steel, designed to provide extensive protection to its wielder. It is particularly favored by gatekeepers, bridge guards, and other defensive positions where holding ground is crucial. The design of the Steel Tower Shield allows it to serve as a mobile fortification, making it ideal for defensive stances and protecting narrow passages. Made from high-quality steel, this shield is incredibly durable and can withstand significant amounts of damage without losing its structural integrity. The shield is rectangular, covering the entire body of the wielder when held upright.
