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