For Honor Y8S3: The Shield of Svengard

Years ago, the warrior known as Gudmundr the Great fought to prevent the destruction of Svengard at the hands of the Blackstone Legion. Dedicated to the protection of the Viking Faction, Gudmundr made the ultimate sacrifice. Now, his fellow brothers and sisters hold a glorious funeral for the fallen Warlord.

But as they uphold the tradition of the breaking of a fallen warrior’s weapons, the Vikings make a startling discovery: Gudmundr’s sword and shield are indestructible. Upon this revelation, the people begin to tall grand, mythical tales of Gudmundr and his unbreakable weapons.

Death will not stop Gudmundr’s legend. His story will live on. Forever shall the Shield of Svengard endure.
