Ancients' Pledge Runeword
Ancients' Pledge is a Diablo 2 Resurrected Runeword created by combining Ral + Ort + Tal into a 3 socket shield. It requires at least level 21 to equip. Ancients' Pledge was first released in patch original.
All runes for Ancient's Pledge can be obtained from the act 5 quest, Rescue on Mount Arreat.
It's a very popular shield to make at the end on Normal difficulty, because of its high resistances bonus. It's often used throughout Nightmare and Hell difficulty, until better options become available.
