Falcon Shield

When going into battle, it's important to let the other guys, enemy or ally, know who you are or represent. You can fly your coat of arms or family symbol on banners, drapes on your horse, even your armor or tunic. But the best effect is on your shield, like this MOC by ~Brick, so when you use it to stop your enemy's blow, he knows who stopped it, and with any luck, you'll land your next blow. 

Coat Of Arms

All self respecting families have a coat of arms. In this case it's the heraldry of Uridius Dratiphe by builder Robert4168/Garmadon. The gauntlet represents strength, the scales represent justice, the anvil (which is really hard to see) represents honor, the arrows represent readiness for war and the build represents mad skills with the bricks.
