Persian Greaves

You heard stories about the Battle of Troy and the legendary fighters who took part. When you learned the greatest soldier of them all was defeated due to a weak heel, you decided it was time to get a little leg protection of your own.

Your Persian Greaves protect some of your weakest spots, keeping you fit for battle. You’ll learn from the mistakes of legends...maybe one day you’ll become a legend, yourself.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Polished Steel Persian Greaves is a set of steel leg protection designed to protect the shins and calves. Formed to the shin and connected by chainmail, these greaves are designed to sit comfortably over the shins while leaving room for poleyns to cover the kneecaps. They reach from below the knee and narrow around the ankles, and are secured with two adjustable top-grain leather straps. The chainmail and back plate further protect the calves, giving your legs full coverage.

The Persian Greaves are designed to match Epic Armoury’s Roman collection, but can be mixed and matched to fit your character’s unique costume. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and top-grain leather straps and fittings, this armour piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.

HISTORY

• Plate armour became popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century, and was often combined with chainmail to be more cost effective and mobile
• Chainmail is one of the oldest types of armour in the world, introduced in the 4th century B.C.
• Popular in Roman and early medieval ages by infantry and early knights

Fear No One

Epic Armoury’s Polished Steel Persian Helmet is your solution for complete head protection. Inspired by ancient Asian armour, this helmet is made of 1 mm thick mild steel and features a tall bowled head with a pointed crest that has been capped with a decorative plate. A nasal guard extends up over the forehead and offers great protection to the face without limiting too much visibility, and it creates an impressive silhouette on the battlefield. It can be removed by loosening the front bolt.

A full chainmail aventail provides protection to both the neck and the face, and is hooked directly onto the helmet and around a strong band of metal that forms the two eye holes. These holes are wide for visibility! The chainmail is lined with leather around the eyes and in the front for comfort and to keep the links in place.

Secure the Persian Helmet by tightening the leather strap beneath the chin, keeping the helmet in place. An Off-White Persian Headband is included with your helmet, and can be strapped around the helmet’s crown and attached to the back using four holes in the metal.

Inspired by the Khula Khud

• An aventail is a veil of chainmail that attaches to the helmet and offers protection; it replaced the chainmail hood coif by the 14th century
• Khula Khuds were a type of helmet used by ancient western Asia, and included the use of an aventail
• Also very similar to a conical shaped Turban Helmet worn in the Ottoman Empire

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

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.”
