The Black Shield

The Shady Rest Inn lies burned out, and one of the few parts still standing is a crumbling chimney. A shield blackened by the flames is fixed to its brick. Krog at Brackenwall Village is the one to show it to.

I grant that humans have strange decorating tastes, but would they use a plain iron shield to adorn their fireplace? Perhaps this shield was placed there by the ones who burned the inn.

A warning? A threat?
