Palladium

Artefact

The walls of Aresia have never been breached in all the campaigns we've waged against them. The magic of the Palladium is powerful indeed.

- Queen Vallus

The Palladium is a treasured artefact that bestows magical protection upon any city or ship that enshrines it. Enshrining the Palladium within a city or ship requires seven days of devoted prayer by a priest. Sacrifices are sometimes offered to expedite this process. Once the artefact is enshrined, it bestows its full protection. However, if the artefact is ever moved by more than an inch, the protective effects end. The city walls resist all damage. Siege weapons mounted on the city walls are extraordinarily accurate. The walls are impossible to climb and are known to hurt any who touch it from outside the city. It also prevents teleportation into or out of the city, as defined by its walls. There are legends saying this was given to the Aresians by Mytros herself but the truth of the matter is lost in the mists of time.
