Warrior Bracers - Leather

Black is the favored colour for many warriors and soldiers across the land. It's hard to stain, fearsome and distinctive in combat.
These Warrior Bracers are stylish and comfortable to wear.

Your prey is almost within range, tentative as she catches a whiff of something in the air. You have covered yourself in the dirt of the forest and smell more like pine than person, but the deer still seems uncertain.

She steps forward and you pull out an arrow from your quiver, loading your bow. This deer will feed your family for the rest of the week, so you are careful as you take aim. You mustn’t miss your target if you are to eat.

With a sharp ‘thwap!’ your arrow breezes past your Warrior Bracers, soaring through the air and finally hitting its mark, clean and perfect. A painless end to a noble creature...and your dinner.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Warrior Bracers are a set of tough leather arm guards designed to protect the forearms in combat or when shooting a bow.

With the added comfort of soft, black split-leather lining and adjustable leather lacing to ensure a perfect fit, you can also be certain that these bracers can be worn for an entire event. Stitched to prevent the leather from deforming and minimizing tearing, this armour will last a long time with proper leather care.

The style is low-fantasy and compatible with other Epic Armoury leather and metal armours. It will fit most characters and game worlds giving you freedom when customizing your character’s equipment.

HISTORY

• Unlike popular belief, arm protection was only called a “bracer” if it was meant to protect the forearm of an archer
• Forearm protection not intended for an archer would have been called a “vambrace” or “forearm guard”

Silence. Perfect silence.

You use the silence as a cloak of armour, masked in the darkness with the help of your Mempo, waiting for the perfect opportunity. You ready your throwing knives, ready to launch your deadly attack when the lord finally emerges from inside the keep. One quick flick of your wrist and the lord breathes his last, you knife hitting its mark...and you vanish, leaving their guards bewildered and afraid.
