Trivia

• Darksun Shield and Light of Day only damages the Nerevarine's health if they are a vampire.

You feel a searing pain on your arm as you equip the shield. A voice screams out in your mind, "This is not for your kind, Dark One.

Your had [sic] [Do not change this to hand. This misspelled word is how it appears in-game.] begins to blister and burn with the pain of a thousand suns. A voice echoes in your mind, "Never shall you wield this, evil thing.

• Instead of acquiring Wraithguard as a gift from Vivec, the Nerevarine must kill him and retrieve the Unique Dwemer Artifact from Vivec's Corpse. Only obtaining the Wraithguard this way, it permanently damages the Nerevarine's health first time equipped.
• Keening and Sunder only damages the Nerevarine until they are dead if equipped without Wraithguard.
