This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Shami Stovall Hello there! To answer your questions: Volke's shield and sword are still with him. As for the story decision of Luthair's death - it completed his character arc. He failed to save Mathis, but he redeemed himself in the end by saving Volke no matter the cost. As for Volke's mother - it's always more interesting/dramatic to see individuals with personal connects to the main characters. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask!
