History

This is the shield used by the legendary Huma Dragonbane. The shield is quite prominent in many of Huma's lesser tales, especially the ones before the time of the dragonlances.

It was said that the shield never failed Huma, and it saved his life many a time.

After the Blue Lady's War, a prophecy came about that said that when the Brightblade, Flint's Axe, and Huma's Shield were all reunited, it would bring about the symbolic return of Kiri-Jolith to Krynn. What this prophecy means is a mystery.
