Hlang

A hlang was a Chultan oval-shaped, hide shield, most common in the cities of Mezro and Port Nyanzaru.

Description
An oval hlang was two feet wide and between four and six feet tall. It consisted of animal hide&mdash;often dinosaur hide&mdash;fitted over a wooden frame. The shield was designed to be collapsible; the hide could easily be removed, rolled up, and used as a chair or pillow, while the frame could be folded up for easy storage.

A hlang was approximately equivalent to a typical large wooden shield in terms of weight and defensive capabilities.
