Stonewall Shields is an armor store specializing in shields located in the Imperial City's Market District. [edit] It is found close to the Gate to the Elven Gardens District and next to Edgar's Discount Spells

The proprietor, Viator Accius will buy your weapons, armor and miscellaneous items whilst only selling armor and offer repair services. His wares include the unique shield Tower of the Nine, which drains your Light Armor while fortifying your Block and Heavy Armor and gives you a Shield enchantment.

Stonewall Shields is divided into three areas: Stonewall Shields, Stonewall Shields Private Quarters and Stonewall Shields Basement.

Stonewall Shields

The main trading room is on the ground floor and consists of a counter and several exhibition tables and podiums with Viator’s wares on display. The store is dimly lit by the many candles and is decorated with carpets on floors and walls. To the left as you enter, you will find a table with a steel shield and a leather shield. On the next table lies two iron shields. The exhibition table in the middle of the room showcases a fur shield, and, carefully placed on a podium, a fur helmet and a pair of steel boots.

On the counter, a podium displays a leather shield and right next to it, a steel shield. A few books are also present: two copies of Guide to the Imperial City and one of Frontier, Conquest. Placed on yet another podium is an iron helmet. The small array of books include four copies of Mixed Unit Tactics, two copies of Manual of Armor, one copy of A Life of Uriel Septim VII, as well as a copy of Manual of Arms. This book can also be found on the shelves in the northeastern corner, along with yet another copy of Mixed Unit Tactics.

Behind the counter are some shelves and leaning against them is an iron shield. On the shelves are two more copies of Manual of Arms and one of Mixed Unit Tactics as well as a pair of iron boots. The small table near the stairs showcases a fur shield. In the other end of the room, near the basement door, are a cupboard filled with food and a sack with clutter.

Stonewall Shields Private Quarters

The private quarters consist of a single room, which serves as dining room, workroom and bedroom. All the windows are barricaded and several candles lit the room. To your left as you enter a small table holds three bottles of mead. Following the wall, you will come across a desk with clutter, but also a love letter and a shopping list. Still following the wall you will see two barrels and two sacks, all with clutter and clothing. The lectern on the shelves holds even more clutter and on top of the shelves, a copy of Biography of Barenziah, v 1. The unlocked chest near the bed holds silverware and/or gold.

Against the eastern wall, two cupboards are placed back-to-back. One holds clothing and the other one holds food. In the alcove, a barrel with clothing and the unlocked chest holds up to three pieces of leveled equipment. The remaining barrel and the sack both holds clutter. In the middle of the room is the dinnertable. There’s not any food to be found, only a bottle of Surilie Brothers Wine. Next to the table is a set of shelves with dishes.

Stonewall Shields Basement

The basement area is where Viator hides all his food and it is pretty much a mess. To your right when you come down the stairs, some shelves with knocked over dishes. Opposite the dishes, another set of shelves holding clutter and four potatoes as well as an open sack with food. On the lower shelves, a basket holds three samples of tobacco and, on the floor, a watermelon. The two barrels next to it holds only clutter.

In the northeastern corner is a barrel with clothing and, on the floor in the opposite corner, a knocked-over bottle of cheap wine. If you head south from that corner, you will locate three crates, all with clutter and a pumpkin on the floor. The barrel in the last corner holds even more clutter.
