Amulet of Defence

Not everyone can wear armour when faced with the hordes of shambling undead. Children and the frail, become targets with little to protect them from gnashing teeth and jaws. In these scenarios magic becomes incredibly important, and these amulets delayed the deaths of countless lives.

Not everyone was happy with such utilitarian approaches to survival, however. As the days drew on and resources grew scarce, empathy began to wane in the population of Emberwood. Amulets of defence were handed out to those determined to have the most need, but the criteria for that became a hot subject of contention.
