Shield of Saint Katherine
The Shield of Saint Katherine is a Praesidium Protectiva that was once wielded by Saint Katherine and it is now a relic of the Adepta Sororitas.[1]
It is cast in steel and gold, which causes it to give off a golden light. The Shield is also engraved with the image of an armoured warrior bearing a blade and aegis with a ten-pointed halo around her head. The relic was lost following the Great Rift's creation, but the Convent Prioris on Terra was struck by visions alluding to its location within the Dark Imperium. This led to the Convent's prophecy, that foretold the Shield would be found by a warrior who was burned, but spared by the Emperor. This warrior would now bear the Emperor's favour in a scar shaped like an Imperial Eagle, which would allow them to locate the Shield. This warrior was later found to be the Martyred Lady Battle Sister Evangeline, who then aided Canoness Commander Elivia's efforts, to recover the Shield of Saint Katherine.[1]
