"If this sign is carried, one will never lose one's way in storms or bad weather, even when the way is not known" - The Huld Manuscript

The Vegvisir is an ancient icelandic sigil intended to help the user find their way through rough weather. It is described in the Huld Manuscript - a page showing the image of vegvisir and giving its name.

That Which Shows the Way

Epic Armoury’s Vegvisir Iarla Shield is a 80 cm round latex shield that will be your companion to the furthest shores and back. You fear no storm or rising tide with your Iarla Shield at your side! Inspired by early Vikings and Saxons, this Live Action Role Play (LARP) safe shield is carved from EVA foam to look like true wood. Coated in a layer of durable latex, it features a wood grain texture on both the front and back--something that makes this shield truly unique and perfect for a truly immersive look. You can even find small sculpted nails hammered into the braces, because attention to detail is so important.

This shield has been hand painted, with white paint decorating its face in an Icelandic design intended to help you on your path. Its slight convex shape and the metallic-painted boss on the front provides an edge in combat, and its reliable punch-grip fits comfortably in your hand thanks to its suede wrap and shape. Keep your shield in great condition with regular latex maintenance.

The Viking Compass

• Iarla is the Irish word for ‘Earl,’ which makes it perfect for higher ranking warriors in your tribe
• Vegvísir is an Icelandic word for ‘wayfinder’ and is a magical symbol that--when carried--meant that you would never lose your way in bad weather
• The Shield Boss--the round, convex piece of material at the centre of the shield--was used to deflect blows
• Round wooden style was predominantly used in the early European Middle Ages using light, non-splintering wood such as linden, fir, alder or poplar

A lot of jewelery is for fine and dainty fingers.
This is not one of those rings.

A vegvísir, Icelandic for "sign post" or "wayfinder", is an Icelandic magical stave intended to help the bearer find their way through rough weather.
The symbol is described in the Huld Manuscript as potent protection for travellers.

*Remember not to use it for hot drinks, as the heat will cause the horn to change form! Since this product is made of a natural material, every horn product is unique, and the colour may vary from the shown picture.

HISTORY

• Ancient Greeks and Romans were known to use horns for drinking vessels
• The ancient Greek term for a drinking horn was simply keras, which means ‘horn’
• In the prose Edda, Thor is challenged to drink from a horn that unknown to him contains all the seas. He manages to drink a remarkable part of its content and thereby scares Útgarða-Loki and his kin.

”A man’s worth is kept in his purse,” or so your father used to say. And as the third-biggest merchant from Tarbean, he certain knew what he was talking about.

A good purse needs to hold all sorts of regional currency, from Cealdish jots, to golden marks, crowns, drabs, ingots, pennies and coppers. None of it is ever far from your hand, or your sturdy leather purse.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Merchant Purse is a moderately sized wool and leather purse designed to hold coins or other personal keepsakes. The reinforced-bottom purse is made from wool blend and top-grain leather and is tied shut with a leather cord drawstring. The same drawstring is long enough that it can be tied to your belt in order to keep it close at hand.

The Mechant Purse can carry a lot, including anything up to 23 cm in length. Beautiful purses like this one are useful accessories and great for adding final touches to your character.

HISTORY

• Historically referred to and used like a “pocket” before pockets were added to clothing
• Pouches worn at the belt have been found in Swedish and English burial sites pre-dating 1000 A.D.

Sneaking through the bandit’s hideout, you pause as a particular chest catches your eye. A true adventure always comes with its fair share of loot, you think, as you inspect for traps. All seems well as you start to pick the lock, wondering what sort of treasure the bandits might be hiding.

The lid opens with an awful creak--you’re sure someone will have heard it!--and as you look inside you are excited to find the entire chest full of stolen coins and gems. You don’t have much time as you scoop several handfuls into your Ready-for-Battle Purse, thanking the fact that your bag is big enough to carry so much, before you jingle toward the exit.

It’s about time something good came out of this journey!

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ready-for-Battle Purse is a moderately sized cloth purse designed to hold coins or other personal keepsakes.

The RFB Purse can carry a lot thanks to its 12 cm radius at full extension. Store anything that will fit inside its 23 cm length. Cloth purses are useful accessories and great for adding final touches to your character.
