This is a Heritage quest that starts in deep Zek. It
requires completion of a series of trials and yields kite version (or
buckler if you are not a fighter class) of the shield. This quest can
be soloed until trail six if you are are 40+, but a group is recommended
for the group encounters. This quest ties in well with the Short
Sword of Ykesha since you must kill Emperor Fyst
to receive both rewards.
The Trials
1. Grozmag the Trainer is located West
of the Deathfist Mine.
2. He will ask you to complete six trials in order to gain
the Shiny Brass Shield (SBS). The trials
are held in the room at the bottom of the Deathfist
Mine. Be very careful as to how you answer the Trainers questions
as he may reset your quest (or the dialog) if you answer incorrectly.
The trial room is small and deadly
NB. The trial zone in for a group can be buggy. It seems that it defaults to the lowest trial that a member in the group needs. If you group with members that have completed trial six it may choose randomly which trial you get.
Trial One - Solo
1 Zek Berserker(Level 30)
Trial Two - Group
4 Zek Berserkers
(Level 32. Two are ^)

3. Return to Grozmag the Trainer and he
will tell you to Kill Emperor Fyst in the
Deathfist Citadel (Access

in the front of DFC. Use this guide
to get to Emperor Fyst.
