NefariousPBOnline Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Ive been wanting someone to make this real Italian weapon/armor piece since 2015, an no one has yet to make one so here im requesting it. a lantern shield is a real historical Italian peace of armor that was a gauntlet, shield, lantern and sword all in one. they typically had a short sword or short pike protruding from the shield below the gauntlet, with or without 2-4 daggers or dirks also protruding from the gauntlet knuckles, the shield would have a lantern inset and a hole exposing the lanterns light in-front of the shields user with a close off opening so it could easily be extinguished. mine doesn't need to be this fancy, id like just a usable shield with similar lantern light, doesn't need to have gauntlet or weapons built in + i dont think making a completely historically accurate lantern shield would be possible in skyrim, so just a shield with inset lantern would be nice. below Ive attached an article to lantern shields in Wikipedia as well a an existing lantern shield image in a museum. as for age well the one in the museum is from 1540 so lantern shields are real and really old. although they were made for night time sparing not for battle, so defensively in comparison to skyrims other shields it would probably be in weight comparable to daedric (15) but have a defense value more comparable to hide shield (15) although i think fifteen is generous and it would probably be closer to eight or nine but that's weaker than any shield currently in skyrim. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lantern_shield Edited October 29, 2022 by NefariousPBOnline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
