• The word skull is probably derived from Old Norse skalli, which meant bald

I call upon the Wolf of the Ashen Gates, the Hound of the Void, the Howling Nightmare. I call upon the darkness of its eyes, the frost of its pelt, the hunger of its hearth. I invoke the ancient pact and share this prey with the jaws of the Abyss, so they can once again fuel the power in my veins. By the blood of this sacrifice, I summon thee, who I named, and bind thee to this realm through the vessel of my own body. In reward for this service, I relinquish dominion of my living shell for every new noon, so thee can run the earth, hunt, and gorge on souls and gore. By this blade, I seal this pact, may my strike open the gate through which I await thee coming.

This fantasy inspired sacrificial knife is perfect for cultists, demon prayers, and other heresy practitioners in LARP. With its curved blade and intricate design, it's an impressive accessory for dark magic users, tribalistic priests, witches, and warlocks.

The Cagliosto mage's staff  is an impressive prop and at the same time an efficient foam weapon. Its many details and rich ornaments consist of the same soft foam as the entire "Black Dragon" foam weapon range, making "Cagliosto" not only a prop for the portrayal of wizardry in-game, but also a widely useful foam arm for close combat. As its many details like runes, crystals and colour effects are individually finished by hand, there may be deviations from the image in the case of this product in particular. However, rest assured that you'll always receive your very own one-of-a-kind staff.

In the Black Dragon series, Italian manufactory Fucina del Drago, famous for their exceptional leather products, have created a foam weapon brand that combines traditional craftsmanship with a fantastic design. The "Black Dragon" foam weapons are 100% handcrafted in Italy. They feature an outer coat of latex varnished with a layer of protective lacquer. Inserts of robust leather guarantee the necessary stability and durability. Carefully painted and with boasting a high-quality leather hilt wrapping, the "Black Dragon" foam weapon range will be a trusty companion for a long time. Please note that each foam weapon is individually crafted by hand, which is why the individual weapons' shape and colour may deviate slightly from the image.

We recommend regular care with silicon oil. Keep your foam weapons clean and dry at all times. Do not store them in a weapon's holder or similar contraption for extended periods of time. Your foam weapon should not be exposed to a lot of heat or direct sunlight for extended periods of time. This could lead to deformations or damage to the surface.

You think about dreaming it, we will take care of making it happen.

Our work briefly translates into this: starting from an idea, a sketch, a story and transforming those smoky lines into an object that can be used in the context (whether strictly historical or fantasy) for which it was designed.

Design therefore, at the base of each project, modulated on the budget of each client.

Realization, with a particular attention to detail and real use (not only display but rather mainly products made to be worn, used, lived).

Assistance, so that everything that has already been created does not suffer the damage of time or the wear and tear of years of use.

Black Dragon is our brand for the design and construction of weapons, armor and props oriented to LARP, Cosplay and film productions.

These are articles made of materials such as plastazote, evazote, resins and the like, used to give shape and substance to the wildest dreams of every designer or to reproduce objects not otherwise available because of fantasy.

It was born from the meeting between the Fucina del Drago and Black Forge, an artisan workshop that has been active for years in the LARP and Cosplay sector at national and international level which, in February 2020, joined forces in the common goal of expanding their work and their skills to offer them on a wider market also linked to film productions.

From this collaboration, projects related to TV series have been born that have benefited from years of experience and tests on materials, at the same time highlighting on the one hand the absolute reachable realism and on the other the possibility of truly shaping the imagination to give shape to things otherwise unattainable.

From the feedback obtained, the push that led us to strongly believe in this new project was born to the point of creating a brand dedicated only to this type of product.

A fundamental component of our work remains attentive listening to the customer and continuous contact in order to be certain not only of the achievement of the final result, but also and above all of full satisfaction: from this point of view it makes no difference that you are a live role player, a cosplayer or a film production company, we will still be able to accompany you from the preparatory sketch to the finished product in order to give you the most precise possible idea of ​​what we are making for you.

The Wizard was angry. Not only had they conflated him with the bombing of Dresden, not only had they ruined his Star Wars marathon, they'd had the temerity to ask about The Hat.

"It's a Witch Hunter's Hat. Do I look like a Witch Hunter to you?" he asked between clenched teeth.

"But it's on the cover of the books!" the annoying one replied.

"Then maybe you should have bought the UK edition." he said in a voice colder than the mantle of Winter's Knight.

Protecting the innocent people of your country from the spells and curses of witches rests on your shoulders. It is your responsibility to find the dreaded creatures and put an end to their evil ways--often at the risk of your own life in the process.

Anymore, the townsfolk recognize you by your iconic wide-brimmed hat. You had it enchanted to protect yourself from charms and illusions, but it is also a symbol of the hunter that you are. It is a warning to any witch who dares to cross paths with you.

It’s your birthday in one week, and you still have so much to bake! This is your biggest birthday yet, and you’ve invited the entire village to join you in celebration. It’s caused you not to leave your kitchen in days, preparing the feast that the party will expect.

You push your stylish Samy Hat away from your face as you mix another batch of batter and prepare yet another cake. Just six more cakes to go, and you may consider yourself half way done. Phew...halflings sure do eat their weight in dessert!

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Off-White Hat Samy is a cap inspired by the popular Venetian style of the 14th- to 15th-centuries--and is a little reminiscent of a proper halfling cook, too! It fits over the top of the head comfortably and is made from off-white cotton, gathered beneath the folded brim to give it volume. This cap is designed to sit around the top of the forehead, and is specifically for children.

The Hat Samy is a great addition to your child’s costume. It does not need to be secured to the head, but easily sits on its own over the scalp and hair. Match it with the Epic Armoury Samy collection for a full halfling (or neutral medieval) look.

HISTORY

• This style cap was the headwear of choice for men at the end of the Middle Ages
• The historical style had flaps that folded down over the ears and back of the head, but were often worn folded up like in this design

The witch hunter hat is completely made of high quality leather, with a metal buckle.
This has been an iconic style of hat since Robert E. Howard wrote his Solomon Kane, in which it is worn by the most famous hunter of Witches from Vanhelsing to Johann and Wilhelm. In this models we have tried to be faithful to the style of it.
With a wire on the wing to give it the shape you want, it is precisely the fact that you can model the hat that has just given this special finish.
