The brave young men took up the shields of their fathers, uncles and brothers, proud to be able to prove their bravery by leading the attack against the invaders. Proudly, they lead the charge, braving arrows and spears to close with the enemy. At the end of the day, the handful that survived were feted as heroes.
Vanguard’s Shield
These shields are solidly build, even for shields, with reinforced edges and straps. The fronts are battle scarred and usually recently repainted. The interior is usual etched with the names of previous owners. These shields are given to those who will lead an assault who will triumph or die in the attempt.
