A shield made by affixing tanned leather to a wooden frame. Carrying this shield can help to defend against enemy attacks, though the materials it is made of heavily compromise its durability. It is almost exclusively used by vigilante corps who defend houses and families form beast attacks, and is very rarely ever seen on the battlefield. However, having this shield may grant the owner some peace of mind.
