As you infiltrate the city, you pass by the gates completely unnoticed in your Altair Vest. Had the guards known your intentions, you’d be hunted as a killer. Thankfully today no one knows that you have such a mission.

You find your target as he enters his hideout, two of his guards at his side. There might be a way to get inside without detection--and that’s when you spot the open window on the third floor. That won’t be too difficult to reach. Not for a skilled assassin such as you.

The Khopesh (also vocalized khepesh) is an Egyptian sickle-sword that evolved from battle axes.

A typical khopesh is 50–60 cm in length, though smaller examples do also exist. The blunted edge of the weapon's tip also served as an effective bludgeon, as well as a hook. These weapons changed from bronze to iron in the New Kingdom period. The earliest known depiction of a khopesh is from the Stele of Vultures, depicting King Eannatum of Lagash wielding the weapon; this would date the khopesh to at least 2500 BC.

DO NOT DISAPPOINT THE PHARAOH

Epic Armoury’s Khopesh is a ancient egyptian inspired, 37 cm curved blade. It has no cross-guard, but does have a fine coreless pommel. The sharp organic features takes heavy inspiration from the Khopesh of Ancient Egypt. Made from durable closed cell foam around a 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 LARP kit.

HISTORY

• Originally the khopesh were made of bronze but were later found in iron
• A khopesh were made to be a slashing and blunt weapon and due to it’s heavy nature it could be used for both.
• Curved is especially effective for slashing (instead of stabbing) in combat

This couldn't be how it ended. Alan dead in the muck, leagues away from home, only to die in the sand. His thoughts raced in the sickly sweet smelling air. Peach and copper and mango and wheat grass all fought inside his nose as the other man breathed in his face.
"This is the last dagger you'll ever see, Crusader Dog!" the hashshin crowed, as he sat astride Samuel, knife to his throat as he lay in the sand just outside what he thought to be his final goal. 
This took Samuel by surprise "So it's a dessert dagger, then?" 
"Yes, it's a... no! Wait, what?!" But that was all the distraction he needed. A swift headbutt rang both of their helmets like bells, the chainmail on the kulah khud jangling in harmony like the smaller ones attached to festive holly. As his assailant reeled Samuel shoved him off and sprang to his feet. Quickly grabbing his templar shield, he delivered a swift kick to the ribs and then ran inside the building.  
"For the Sovereign!" Samuel roared "Juice Vault!"

WOULD YOU SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE FOR THE PHARAOH?

Whether your LARP-character is a loyal soldier or a treacherous backstabbing priest, it is written in stone and hieroglyphs, that the Epic Armoury Desert Dagger is the perfect knife for you. Even though it bears a remarkable resemblance to the ceremonial knife, that was found in the tomb of the great pharaoh Tutankhamun's, this dagger is not made of any extraterrestrial material. It is in fact made from durable closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating that will withstand LARP combat and abuse. The 28 cm knife has a two-edged blade with a central ridge, no crossguard and a flattened pommel, and the handle is wrapped in leather, trimmed with a single, fine gold line. When you are crafting your LARP kit, this dagger will make you look like you belong in the desert

HISTORY

• The Ancient Egyptians used daggers for self-protection, close quarter combat & warfare, but they were also pieces of adornment or ceremonial objects
• In ancient Egypt, daggers were usually made of copper or bronze, while royalty had gold weapons

Khopesh is an Egyptian sickle-sword that evolved from battle axes. The word 'khopesh' may have been derived from 'leg', as in 'leg of beef', because of their similarity in shape. Typically 50–60 cm in length, the inside curve of the weapon could be used to trap an opponent's arm, or to pull an opponent's shield out of the way. These weapons changed from bronze to iron in the New Kingdom period. The earliest known record of a Khopesh would date the weapon to at least 2500 BC.

Katanas, Scimitars and Sabres are among the most beautiful, most loved and most historically significant swords around. So, it’s no surprise that at nearly every LARP event, many people lament that no one makes curved swords. Those days are gone. Elysian Forge was created by a passionate team of LARPers in Canberra, Australia who figured out how to make reliable curved fibreglass cores, and magnificently detailed, expertly finished LARP weapons of all sorts, where an exotically shaped core would mean a more effective weapon. Our ever-expanding range of products include many curved swords such as the full size range of Japanese swords, Indo-Persian Shamshir, Indian Tulwar, European Sabre, Egyptian Khopesh, as well as “core-through-head” Axes, and more to come. The dark ages of LARP weapons being limited by straight cores is over. Welcome to the Elysian age of LARP weapons!

Farhad wiped the blood from his shamshir. 
"Another lot of those damned Northern fools, Darab my friend" he sighed. "Perhaps they do not understand the ferocity of us Hashishin, and how we must protect it from them at all costs."
Darab stretched his Dervish Spear across his shoulders to work the stiffness from his shoulders, looking grim at the senselessness of the blood they had all just spilt upon the desert sands.
"They will never have it, Farhad. They will never enter the Juice Vault."

STYLE AND FUNCTION COMBINED

Epic Armoury's Gambeson Dastan is a padded long-sleeve coat covering the torso from neck, down over the hips and upper thighs both on the front and back. It can be worn on its own or serve as essential padding under mail or armour. The gambeson is donned like a jacket and closed on the front with straps, allowing the wearer to customize the tightness of the fit. The shoulders are easily detachable by untying its cotton cords on the shoulders and sleeves, each cord secured through long-lasting brass eyelets. The gambeson design is created with a two-colour design in mind, giving a splash of colour to it.

Thick enough to serve as its own armour, this sturdy gambeson is constructed with heavy layers of fluffed cotton canvas sandwiched between dyed wool on the outside and softer cotton lining on the inside. All these layers are stitched together in vertical lines, keeping the padding in place.

HISTORY

• Quilted armours have been around since at least 400 BCE
• Used as padding under chainmail or plate armour
• Could stop heavy arrows and mace and axe impacts with the addition of overlaying chainmail

“The crusaders are fanatics … they never know when to quit. We have already won twice against them but they never learn do they?

"Once again, they are walking toward the city in their shining suits of armor under the desert’s blistering sun. Once again they want to get a hold of “it” but we won’t let them. We were able to push them back twice already so there is no reason why we won’t be able to do it again. We still have our unique, centuries-old, fighting style which relies on swift foot style, precise striking, and using the terrain to our advantage. We also have a new sword that was commissioned prior to this war to fit our warriors: A long, sharp, single-edged blade with a backbone reminiscent of the “desert sharks” and providing a great intimidation factor when facing the enemy …

"Once again I pray the gods to fight by our side and prevent the invaders from getting a hold of our sacred artifact.”

After years of roaming the overworld, banished by her mother, Triss'Tree had finally made up her mind. She would return to the family castle and confront her mother, the Queen, in a duel in order to regain her honor, but above all, in order to prove that she had what it takes to rule the kingdom as the Warrior-Queen of Yllvalian.

A hundred and fifty years of roaming the surface realms had hardened her. She had faced formidable adversaries on her own and, over the years, accumulated countless treasures and equipment which she cherished as much as her life such as a curved-blade sword which she had recovered in the cold hand of the corpse of a Sand Warrior who had dared to attack her in her tent one night ...

This sword had quickly become her favorite and it is easy to understand why: Wieldable with one or both hands, a guard which can easily disarm the adversary and with the edges on its blade that could inflict significant bleeding to the adversary, this weapon had everything to satisfy the savage nature of Triss… and her mother, the Queen, would soon bow to her might in battle.

The best defence in life means nothing if it is eaten away by time and the elements, or even attacked from the inside.
And so it is with your own armour!
Humidity, expansion and contraction in the heat, UV radiation, rain, and the withering blows of your enemies all conspire to expose your armour to rust, but worse yet, your very own precious bodily fluids conspire to corrode it from the inside with their impurities and corruption! (which is why we only ever drink pure grain alcohol or rainwater)

You could coat your armour (and other metal objects) in a regular run of the mill lubricant, but many of them are actively hydrophobic. Great for metal but terrible for leather, cotton and other organic materials!

Lanox MX4 is a lanolin rich lubricant, and lanolin is the oil that is naturally produced by sheep to prevent them from shrinking in the rain and generally remain weather proof! It is superior to many artificial compounds and does not damage leathers or organic fibres.

Mytholon enters the market for more premium armour designs with the neautifully hand crafted Dragomir armour.

These bracers are patterened with a unique fluting design design to ward of physical impact as well as inspire terror.

The "Dragomir" plate armor is incredibly elaborate. It consists of a multitude of lames and finely shaped elements which, when combined, result in extraordinary armor that can hardly be more agile. Every part by "Dragomir" is carefully flanged, decorated with beads and coordinated with one another. They impress with their shape and the masterful execution that makes this armor so unique.

If you like it a little less decorated and want to save some money, you should check out "Dragomir's" brother "Rikomer". Technically identical, "Rikomer" dispenses the decorative beads in favor of a more brutal look and a lower price.

Armor like this is usually only available as a custom-made product and Mytholon had to fiddle a long time before they could get it ready for series production. Of course, the fit must and can be optimized here and there by careful bending, but Mytholon have designed the armor in such a way that it can be carried into the field with maximum comfort.

The individual parts of the Dark varient are burnished to protect against rust and are particularly suitable for dark knights or fighters of chaos.

Steel varient "Dragomir" is particularly suitable for dragon knights or fighters of light.

We generally recommend wearing a gambeson and arm & leg paddings under plate armor. This significantly improves wearing comfort and protection.

ARMED PROTECTION!

“Listen up! You all know that this regiment is the toughest of them all. But this battle is different. I have seen seasoned soldiers being blown to bits by a single backhand slash from these ruinous bastards. Whatever you do, make sure to avoid their cursed spikes! Is that clear!?”

They are designed with star-shaped place-holder screws that are replaceable with mountable accessories such as the Mountable Demon Horns and minor grips, making it possible to attach heinous additions such as an Dwarf Shrunken Head or an Orc Trophy Ear.

The clash with the specters was inevitable. Steel met ethereal forces, the sound echoing off the ancient stones. Lysire moved with the shadows, his strikes a blend of art and war. With each fallen specter, the air grew heavier, the history of the ruins seeping into the very air, filling the ranger with a power that resonated with his dark heritage.
