IN THE WOODLAND REALM

Is your elven character a majestic, noble member of the High Elven court leading an urbane lifestyle? Or is it a balanced ranger mastering the bow, living a naturalistic life in the forest?

Made from brown leather embossed with a subtle vine-like inspired pattern and an ornate fully cast brass buckle with an exquisite elven symbol, the belt is fastened with a stud on each side of the buckle. Four additional thinner leather straps, two on each side, are attached to the buckle in front and a brass ring in the back for decorative purpose or for practical reasons such as hanging your accessories. A spacer in the back with two small hooks allows you to adjust the size for a perfect fit. This garment is a graceful yet strong high-fantasy statement; an absolute essential when crafting your LARP kit! Available in three different sizes.

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.
