This amulet was forged during the grim period of the Shadow War by Sir Kaelen, a knight who served one of the Lords of Coia. Tragedy struck when his lord succumbed to the influence of the demigod lich Velsharoon, forcing Kaelen to commit unspeakable acts. Consumed by profound guilt, he deserted his post, embarking on a desperate quest for redemption.

Believing the pure magic of the Bukhara Spires could counteract the lich's profane influence, Kaelen journeyed there. Using a sliver of a spire, he painstakingly forged the Aegis, pouring his very life force and repentant prayers into the charm. It became a powerful ward against the undead, a poignant counter to the creatures he had once been compelled to command.

Before he was ultimately hunted down and slain by Velsharoon's relentless minions, Sir Kaelen managed to hide the Aegis. He placed it within a secret, magically sealed crypt, fervently hoping a future hero would discover it and continue the fight against the darkness he once served. Its location has since been lost to the annals of time, a long-hidden relic marking a forgotten knight's final penance. This powerful artifact remains long hidden away in a secret crypt near the Iron Mountain.
