New to the Shadowknight!!

[Veleria]

2x 5/55 rings 500p
Nathsar Greatsword 150
Full suit of banded 90

This will last you till 20 and a bit beyond. once you hit 20 you might want a better weapon. but the Nathsar is still adequate. As a large race you wont need a shield for a long time. Its still a good idea to pick one up but its not urgent.
