The Vault: Banner of the Sun

The banner of the sun is a fabled relic of the ancients, steeped in the vitality of the sun itself. It is a red and golden standard, resplendent with sunburst designs that blaze with a fiery radiance. Those who unfurl it are bathed in a comforting glow that invigorates the soul and stirs the heart.

This banner originated from a sect of sun-worshipers who sought to harness the power of their deity. Its magic bolsters the strength of those who fight beneath it, instilling in them a fierce courage that banishes even the darkest shadows. It can even grant the power of flight to those worthy of its grace.
