Stalwart Anchor

The Stalwart Anchor is a Green Crystal that when activated, becomes near impenetrable for a short period before it's charge runs out. Probably the simplest of it's kind, a Stalwart stone in it's activated state cannot under any circumstance be damaged or broken, even by itself. These Stones are often shaped into armour or other kinds of defence, though this is often only for the wealthier Warriors in the Empire, due to all Anchors being extremely difficult to obtain, however, when used, the Stalwart Anchor can be the Bulwark between life or **** on the battlefield. Stalwart Anchors are Deep Emerald in colour and rigid to the touch, it is known to be one of the lightest of the Anchors despite its amazing defensive properties.

3rd Grade Stalwart Anchors are standard enough, having a short charge that only lasts a couple of minutes, this unpredictability in how long a Stalwart Anchor will last makes it a wildcard in a warriors arsenal.

2nd Grade Stalwart Stones are a lot more reliable on the battlefield, staying in their activated state for Half an Hour before deactivating.

1st Grade Stalwart Anchors are slightly more common than the other 1st Grade Stones, a good couple of the High Empire Noblility having a piece of armour or some other form of protection, doubtlessly because of this Grade of Stalwart being nigh impenetrable for the longest period of all, however, unlike its brethren, 1st Grade Crystals seem to actually be alive, shifting and moving upon activation to protect the user. These Crystals are often kept as sacred heirlooms by the Highborn and are treated with the highest regard, even more so than their living servants.
