The Shields of Yartar was a group of mounted soldiers that defended the city of Yartar.[1][2]

Organization[]

The Waterbaron of Yartar served as the Shields' highest-ranking commander. They were served by a number of officers known as Overswords.[1]

Activities[]

In defense of the city, the Shield was often forced to drive off monstrous raiders, such as bands of orcs and groups of trolls.[1]

Base of Operations[]

The group was headquartered in the Shield Tower located just west of the city proper, across the fortified bridge that spanned the River Surbrin.[1][3]

History[]

By the Year of the Tankard, 1370 DR, the ranks of the Shields had been infiltrated by agents of the Kraken Society.[2]
