Heater shields are extremely popular with knights (in Belegarth), but contrary to popular belief many non-knights used heater style shields throught the middle ages. So, it isn't "blasphemous" to own a heater shield and be "non-chivalry" (To Para-Phrase Magnus of Taurendor).
Belegarth heater style shields generally look like this:

Real heater shields tend to look like this, with a curve and more of a slope than angles.
