== Elf Heraldry Shields ==

'''Elf Heraldry Shields''' are new cosmetic shields added to the game in the July 2023 update. 

These shields represent the Kingdoms of the High Elves and the Factions of the Dark Elves, and can be worn by Swordmasters and Black Guards.

12 new cosmetic shields for High Elves and 12 new cosmetic shields for Dark Elves were created. 

Besides players earning them, many High Elf Warcamps have had NPCs adjusted from generic "Shining Guard", into defenders who wear the heraldry of their kingdom.

== Earning the Shields ==

Players can earn these shields by completing specific quests. 

There are two tiers of shields to earn: '''Silver''' and '''Gold.''' 

*For Silver Tier shields, most are divided into either: RvR, Scenarios, or PvE. 

*For Gold Tier Shields, the quests become more difficult, and may require a mix of tasks.

*After earning the Silver shield, players who meet certain requirements will be able to take a second quest to upgrade to the Gold trimmed version.

There is one shield shown in each of the images that are not yet available, and these, as well as The Gold Trimmed shields, are scheduled to launch in August 2023.

== Heraldry Vendors ==
[[File:Heraldryvendor.png|thumb|If a shield you've earned goes missing, you can buy a replacement from the Heraldry Vendors in your Capital City.]]

Accidentally deleted your shield, or had it vanish in a strange prank of the Chaos Gods?

With the new Heraldry shields, you're covered either way.

Players can buy a spare shield for any Heraldry they've already unlocked for 10 gold. 


Vendors for these are located at:

*'''Altdorf:''' Elven Heraldry Keeper, Altdorf Library 2F
*'''The Inevitable City:''' Druchii Heraldry Keeper, The Lyceum
*'''Karaz-a-Karak:''' Elven Heraldry Keeper, Shining Headquarters
*'''Karak Eight Peaks:''' Druchii Heraldry Keeper, Uthorin Embassy

''Important: To purchase one of these shields from the vendor, the player must first have completed the original quest for that shield.''

== Special Thanks ==

A special thank you to Jaffawer for his dedication to Return of Reckoning and creating these heraldic shields for the elves.
