Description

“	These walls were hung with black velvet tapestries, and between the tapestries hung shields and crossed weapons of fantastic make.	„
	~ The God in the Bowl

Most warriors prefer to carry a shield into battle if there is one available. The best blow is the one that misses, but the second-best blow is the one that you block.

This shield is crafted from the hardened carapace of one of the insectoid creatures that roams the Exiled Lands. It is strong and durable - but not as effective as a shield made of metal.

Description

“	In ecstasy warriors clashed their notched swords on their riven shields, and the people of the town, ragged beggars and rich merchants, harlots in red kirtles and dames in silks and satins, fell to their knees and cried out for joy to Mitra, tears of gratitude streaming down their faces.	„
	~ The Scarlet Citadel

Strengthened with iron, this targe sacrifices some of its manoeuvrability for additional durability. The knobs on the front of the shield are designed to notch the weapons and claws of foes.

The rivets and design work do not point to a particular cultural tradition, but rather reflect the experimental nature of smith work in the Exiled Lands.

The targe is a shield designed for attack as much as defence. A well placed strike with the shield can stagger an enemy and leave them open to attacks from a weapon in the main hand.
