Xelxidon did not originally wield just a sword, but also a shield. It was imbued with the power of the Elder King’s eye and as such, the golden plate with its shut rendition of an eye was called the Sun Shield. When opened, it would sear through all in its gaze with blinding radiance. Where the shield is gone or why Xelxidon abandoned it, no one knows. —Theory and speculations, by Monyr the Scholar.
