Make a Statement

Epic Armoury’s Dark Red Persian Headband is cloth headwear inspired by the turbans of ancient Asia, designed to keep the sweat out of your face while looking particularly epic. Made of beautiful linen-like red crepé, we have crafted this headband so that it looks like it has been artfully bound and twisted--without the hassle of doing it yourself! There are two main layers of fabric to make this possible. First, there is an outer decorative layer that gives this headband its appearance and shape, with excess fabric hanging down the back of the neck. Attached beneath this outer layer, a comfortable crepé band sits against the forehead and keeps the decorative fabric in place.

Wearing the Persian Head Band is easy. Loop the included ties through the eyelets at the back of the band and tie them together, adjusting to fit around the crown of your own head or helmet. There is also a square sized hole in the front of the inner band designed to fit over the Persian Helmet’s nasal guard bolt.

A Simplified Turban

• Inspired by the traditional turban, but altered so it can be worn over a helmet
• Turbans have been used since ancient times, and are still used today
• Turban colours and styles have been used to depict a person’s religion, tribe, or status

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

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.

“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.”
