Shield of the Weary Traveler
There are words scribbled on the inside of the shield. "REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE. This dungeon creates illusions of delight. In them you are a divine emperor of the fey world – and I don't judge you for enjoying this. But ALWAYS, ALWAYS COME BACK! You are not a deity. You are Ball Zess, a boy from Oppara. Remember how you ran naked from the dogs! Remember how you were preparing to confess your love to a girl, when you accidentally blew up her pet turtle. Remember what a fool you made of yourself before the academics in Kaer Maga. YOU ARE NOT WITHOUT FAULT. Remember who you are, or the illusions will devour you, just as they did that pathetic dragon who imagines himself the guardian and protector of this place. All he's ever done is feed heroes to the Abyss. You must find a way back up, and punch him in his silver snout for what he's done to you and so many others. YOU MUST FIND A WAY BACK UP. Maybe not right now, but eventually. DO NOT FORGET."
