The Adaga was the Senpet shield. Its original name was el-darakah, but it was twisted by the men of the Burning Sands, and the new one prevailed. It was a long, heart-shaped, wooden shield, with metal edges. It was used by the Avatar of Ten Thousand and the nobility. Its unique shape allowed its wearer to stop melee weapons catching the blade of the weapon by the crook of the shield and pushed it away from his body.
