The Jotun were the race of giants of norse mythology, and they indeed had mighty appetites for meat and beer!

... and then they cowered in great fear when they heard of Australia's greatest chieftain - Bob of the Hawke

When one drink just isn’t enough, you always have your Horn of Jotunheim. Its massive size holds enough mead for a warrior such as yourself--and by that, you mean the entire bottle.

You enjoy a long drink from your horn, pleased that it never seems to empty. Or at the very least, you can’t seem to remember ever drinking it to the bottom. You can’t really be sure, since there are a few key lapses in your memory from your last few drinking sessions.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dark Horn of Jotunheim is a drinking vessel designed to hold a liter and a half of your favourite beverage. This genuine horn comes from the Indian water buffalo, and was chosen specifically for its dark colouring and massive size. The outside is polished to perfection, while the inside of the horn is treated for food consumption and longevity using a wax coating.

Enjoy cool and room temperature liquids in your drinking horn while remaining in character, hiding away the unsightly plastic bottles. Our drinking horns are a great addition to feasts and war meetings. Use it like any other cup (remember to drink with the point of the horn rotated to the left or right...you’ll thank us) and keep it from spilling by resting it in a leather frog on your belt or in the wrought iron horn stand that comes with this purchase. With the proper care, you can expect your Horn of Jotunheim to last many long years.

HISTORY

• Ancient Greeks and Romans were known to use drinking horns
• The ancient Greek term for a drinking horn was simply keras, which means ‘horn’
• Drinking horns were used for ritual and ceremony purposes throughout the Middle Ages
• Most Viking Age drinking horns were likely made from domestic cattle, while some might have been larger and made from an auroch

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Natural horn products are ABSOLUTELY NOT DISHWASHER SUITABLE.

To clean, place in warm soapy water, and brush gently with a bottle brush. With use, the wax may begin to peel back from the wall naturally. It can easily be re-adhered by adding more wax. Purchase a block of pure bees wax and gently melt it onto the affected area, thumbing the area closed and sealed again.

Cracks in horn may be fixed with the application of dish-washer safe "ModPodge", available on request at your local Spotlight or craft store.

Do not use for hot beverages. Do not use for alcoholic beverages higher than 20% ABV. Do not place in boiling liquid or put boiling liquid inside horn. Do not drop. Consume contents responsibly.

Runes can be used to divine portents of the future. Sure, you could use something as complex as tarot and spend hours attempting to ascertain meaning, or you could try it all with a toss of the dice...

Or for a less astrological use, they're also a great tool for very quick story development behind your GM screen and not quit as obvious as story telling dice.

This set contains 3 eight sided die embossed with 24 characters of the standardised viking runes set, as well as either a velveteen carry bag emblazoned with the vegivisir for added spiritual protection or a synthetic leather valknut pouch.

You admire the Viking Sword that belonged to your father. The great warrior sailed his last voyage, but your brethren still managed to bring back his weapon specially for you. For that, at least, you are grateful.

Looking down upon the sharpened, freshly cleaned steel, you wonder what this sword has seen. Carried on countless travels, this sword may have shed blood raiding the English coast, been tarnished under the sun of Spain, and been drawn in defense of Miklagard.

One day you will add to its story.

DETAILS

The Viking Sword is a weapon of status wielded by free men and proud warriors of skill and valour. The 95 cm long sword has a 77 cm fullered blade designed to be lightweight while maintaining its structural stability. The 12 cm leather-wrapped handle gives the sword good balance and grip, protected by a curved crossguard.

The Viking Sword can be complemented with a Viking Shield or Dagger. Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid 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 kit.

HISTORY

• Originally a Frankish design
• Most swords of this design found in Scandinavia were imported or looted from the Frankish Empire
• Also referred to as a “Norman Sword”
• Gave rise to the Knightly Sword in the 11th to 12th centuries

It's all raiding up the front, party down the back.

You are laughing too loud. You realize it must be scaring your enemy, because no one wants to face you on the frontline anymore. They think you are crazed. Maybe you are, because the adrenaline of being in a battle has left you feeling drunk with exhilaration.

If no one will come to you, it’s time to bring the fight to them! One poor soldier desperately strikes at you and you feel the thud of his sword against your Viking Spangenhelm, but it hardly makes a scratch. You see the terror in his eyes as your laugh fills the field and you bring the strength of your axe down upon him.

You are Raynor Ironshood. Let them fear you. Let them all fear you.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Viking Spangenhelm is a skull cap helmet inspired by by the Vikings of the early middle ages. Featuring a cotton inlay, reinforced cap, 10 cm nose plate and chainmail aventail, this helm offers significant protection while also remaining more comfortable and lightweight than a full helm. The chainmail aventail hanging from the back of the helmet protects the ears and neck while also allowing easy head movement from side to side.

Secure the Viking Spangenhelm by tightening the leather strap beneath the chin, keeping the helmet in place. 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

• Used since the end of the Roman Empire well into the medieval period
• Helmet style was popular amongst the Franks, Goths and the Byzantine Empire
