Crafting Motif 117: House Mornard Shields
by Bertrand Merik, Master Blacksmith of the House Mornard Smithy
A description of what House Mornard shields should look like

Yasmine, you're coming of age now and I promised your mother I'd pass along the hammer and tongs when you was [sic] old enough. I'm no teacher, not like she was bless her heart, but be patient with your old codger of a father and I'll be sure to pass along our family's smithing knowledge as best I can.

SHIELDS

Now, some folks might not see much sense in having a pretty shield, but I'll let you in on a little secret. All this fancy metalwork is meant to divert a blade away from you. Every groove and curve keeps an impact's force moving along the shield's surface. You do this right and an enemy's blade will glide right off you like boots on wet tile.
