Cuff Bracelet

The bracelet reminds you of your childhood home and the mother who worked so hard to keep you and your siblings fed. Your life is complicated and dangerous now that she is gone. You have to steal what you can on the streets just to feed your younger brothers.

When you look down and see the Cuff Bracelet, you remember the promise your mother asked from you as she slid it onto your wrist so many years ago. Survive.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Cuff Bracelet is a simple, but solid leather bracelet. Made from a 20 cm long top-grain leather strip, it’s the perfect addition to a rogue or soldier costume. Secure the bracelet to your wrist using the iron buckle.

The Cuff Bracelet is a handsome accessory, and stylish enough to be worn with a variety of characters or even as a modern fashion statement.

HISTORY

• The term bracelet comes from the Greek word brachile (meaning ‘of the arm’)
• Evidence of bracelets in fashion dates back to Ancient Egypt

Silence. Perfect silence.

You use the silence as a cloak of armour, masked in the darkness with the help of your Mempo, waiting for the perfect opportunity. You ready your throwing knives, ready to launch your deadly attack when the lord finally emerges from inside the keep. One quick flick of your wrist and the lord breathes his last, you knife hitting its mark...and you vanish, leaving their guards bewildered and afraid.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Mempo is a leather half-mask inspired by early Asian soldiers. This mask protects the face from the bridge of the nose to the chin. Four ventilation slits allow proper airflow through the mask’s mouth, designed to be comfortably worn for long periods of time. Secure the mask to your face by tying two long cotton-weave cords around the head.

Made from 3mm thick vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, Epic Armoury’s Mempo is designed to add a great layer to your fantasy or historic costume. With the best quality materials, this mask is built to withstand extensive abuse with regular leather care.

HISTORY

• Worn by Japanese and Chinese infantry and cavalry from as early as 200 BC
• Used to balance and secure top-heavy helmets, often decorated to give the wearer an extra fierce look

Never go into battle before first tasting your favorite ale. That is the advice you would give any of your fellow Dwarves, for you never know when this may be your last fight.

You slam your Beer Mug onto the table as you await the finest dark ale you know. The tavern was quiet before you walked inside, tense with the anticipation of a coming war, but you are loud and bring life back to its walls. You raise a toast to the barkeep and to any nearby, granting them glory on the battlefield before drinking deeply from your mug.

It would be a true shame to leave this world while thirsty.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Beer Mug with Metal Bands is a throwing weapon handy for impromptu fights against other midnight boozers. The beer mug is cylindrical, standing 20 cm tall with a 18 cm diameter. The mug is carved with a wood texture and coloured brown to resemble the staves of a cask, rimmed with riveted metal-hoops. The hoops connect to the metal-coloured handle which is 8 cm deep, leaving plenty of room for grip. The inside is coloured black, mimicking a dark wax typically found on the inside of wooden mugs.

Made from coreless durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this Beermug will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

HISTORY

• Also called a “tankard,” which originally referred to any wooden drinking vessel
• Similar to the earliest form of a tankard, which did not have a lid and resembled a barrel
• Earliest form has been found from as far back as 2000 years ago

PLEASE NOTE: Unless your local game specifically allows hand to hand combat these are for appearance only and should NOT be used for direct physical contact.

The vast wastelands are dangerous, and so you are armed to the teeth. Guns, knives, and even a chainsaw are kept handy should the specific need arise to use them. Your favourite, however, is your Knuckleduster.

The little piece of metal fits so perfectly in your hand that it goes undetected. It’s a dangerous secret you keep from your enemies, and the reason you will survive while others might not.

DETAILS

Dark Moon’s Knuckleduster is a realistic looking knuckle duster designed to be used as a throwing weapon in a post-apocalyptic world. The Knuckleduster is sculpted and handpainted to look like heavy metal and leather, and its 14 cm width fits great in your hand. The grip is created by two large holes, each designed to slide your fingers through.

It is not advised to use this weapon for hand-to-hand combat. Made from coreless durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this Knuckleduster will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your LARP kit.

HISTORY

• Knuckledusters are designed to create more damage when punching
• A form of knuckle style weapon has been around since ancient times
• By the late 19th century, knuckledusters became incorporated into firearms

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 round bottomed purse is made from medium cotton and is tied shut with a cotton 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 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.

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.
