• This particular style might also be referred to as a “demi-gauntlet,” due to its limited finger protection

“For a moment, my heart skipped a beat when he revealed his weapon to cut open the whale dragged ashore. The shaped and sharpened bone blade. The vulgar reinforcements. This blade resembled the bone-chopping sabres wielded by the nefarious warlocks during last night’s raid. However, I began to realise that while these blades could be used as foci for heinous spells, most were as before me: A simple tool by the nomadic people along these shores.”

DETAILS

The Bone Chopper is an iconic weapon for either tribal warriors utilising the bones of their megafauna prey or warlocks applying dark magic to shape bones into devastating weapons. Either way, this weapon will stand out from other melee weapons as exceptionally sinister and alien.

There is easily more to the story than meets the eye: Was it made from the bone of an ancient dragon? Does it curse its wielder? Can it create and control undead creatures? All three? The story behind the Bone Chopper is bad to the bone and entirely your choice!

INSPIRATION

Your House waits for sleep to take your rivals before making an advance on their fortress. While the element of surprise will give you an advantage, forcing the rival house to fall will still require a bloody battle this night.

You are one of your family’s best fighters, and you lead your small army of slaves and allies with your Dark Elven Glaive in hand.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dark Elven Glaive is a weapon specifically designed for the Dark Elven collection. This 190 cm glaive features a finely sculpted, double-edged blade with a deep fuller. Spinal shaped spikes add to the blade’s bone appearance, along with the handpainted and sculpted detailing. The shaft is a smooth 90 cm long pole, finished to look like dark wood.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your battlefield kit.

INSPIRATION

• A fuller, or the groove that runs the length of the blade, was added to weapons to lighten the blade while adding structural strength
• Dark elves were first mentioned in Norse mythology as the Dökkálfar or Svartálfar written in the Prose Edda in the 13th century

When you fear a battle at any moment, you seldomly travel anywhere without your armour. You especially fear an unsuspected dagger reaching for your throat, and that’s why you have your Dark Elf Gorget.

The dark leather and functional design make this neck protection an essential survival piece in the underdark, and you would not go without it.

DETAILS

Fearsome to behold and designed to appear sharp and deadly, use this armour with an assortment of secretive and dangerous characters. Wear it on its own or pair it with Epic Armoury’s matching Dark Elf armours.

You think about dreaming it, we will take care of making it happen.

Our work briefly translates into this: starting from an idea, a sketch, a story and transforming those smoky lines into an object that can be used in the context (whether strictly historical or fantasy) for which it was designed.

Design therefore, at the base of each project, modulated on the budget of each client.

Realization, with a particular attention to detail and real use (not only display but rather mainly products made to be worn, used, lived).

Assistance, so that everything that has already been created does not suffer the damage of time or the wear and tear of years of use.

Black Dragon is our brand for the design and construction of weapons, armor and props oriented to LARP, Cosplay and film productions.

These are articles made of materials such as plastazote, evazote, resins and the like, used to give shape and substance to the wildest dreams of every designer or to reproduce objects not otherwise available because of fantasy.

It was born from the meeting between the Fucina del Drago and Black Forge, an artisan workshop that has been active for years in the LARP and Cosplay sector at national and international level which, in February 2020, joined forces in the common goal of expanding their work and their skills to offer them on a wider market also linked to film productions.

From this collaboration, projects related to TV series have been born that have benefited from years of experience and tests on materials, at the same time highlighting on the one hand the absolute reachable realism and on the other the possibility of truly shaping the imagination to give shape to things otherwise unattainable.

From the feedback obtained, the push that led us to strongly believe in this new project was born to the point of creating a brand dedicated only to this type of product.

A fundamental component of our work remains attentive listening to the customer and continuous contact in order to be certain not only of the achievement of the final result, but also and above all of full satisfaction: from this point of view it makes no difference that you are a live role player, a cosplayer or a film production company, we will still be able to accompany you from the preparatory sketch to the finished product in order to give you the most precise possible idea of ​​what we are making for you.
