Hawkstone's Bulwark was a magical shield made of a solid, 2-inch-thick slab of blue-tinted steel.[2] It earned its name while in the possession of Hawkstone, a ranger from the Dragon Reach.[3]
Powers[]
The shield possessed a +2 enchantment and quite a unique power. Upon utterance of its command word "bulwark", the shield would briefly disappear, and reappear as a 60'-long, 2'-wide bridge of reinforced steel. Speaking the word "krawlub" would cause the shield to revert back to its normal form.[2]
History[]
The first known appearance of the Bulwark was within the hoard of the black dragon Yindoth, discovered after the wyrm was slain by Hawkstone.[2] He wielded it during his crusade against the giants of the Great Glacier and ogres of Thar. Interred with Hawkstone after his death, the shield was taken by graverobbers[1] along with his sword Durelva.[2]
