Az'Hassin Shield

This is not a shield. It is actually a kind of glider disguised as a shield, which the Az'Hassins raise above themselves before jumping from a high spot to enter or escape somewhere by air. Since its canvas is very fragile, a mere encounter with a small bird in flight could pierce it and make you fall. Also, even experienced Az'Hassins hardly use it, reluctant to end their lives in such an inglorious way.
