The Order isn't just about slaying dragons. Their self appointed duties extend to all threats to humanity so they have to be prepared to face foes of all kinds. This requires their standard weapons and armor to be versatile rather than specialized. One key aspect of training at the academy takes place at the forge. Each slayer is required to be an expert craftsman and weapon smith with crafting their own armor and weapon being essential to graduation of training and being accepted into The Order. A slayer's equipment, while maintaining some uniform distinction, also comes as varied and unique as the slayer's themselves. This shield, for example, was designed for both defensive and offensive use.
