Desmond Robe

The trusdge throuigh the frozen North is a long one, quiet and cold. 
"There's not much that can be done to keep the voices out of ones head, but there's plenty that can be done to keep the chill out from ones bones," Desmond thought to himself as he pulled his robes closer about him as he foraged for kindling.

A coat to hide in plain sight!

Epic Armoury's Desmond Robe is designed to be worn over your armor to help disguise the LARP character's true intentions. This ample, long-sleeved robe is made from rough woven cotton that will not hinder the warrior's movement in combat. This divine garment is ideal for priests who do not wish to be seen in armor or perfect for assassins who need discretion when they move about in the dead of night. It flawlessly serves as a coat to shelter the player's weapons or to conceal their earthly possessions from prying eyes. This robe knows no bounds and is useful to all character races and player types, and is ideal for warm to cool weathered events. This gown can also be used for Cosplayers recreating a Sith warrior or reenactors playing a simple medieval merchant.

Reaching out your arm, the falcon glides and lands upon your Falcon Glove. You offer it a gift and it gulps down the shrew before preening its feathers and looking noble upon your forearm.

You take great pride in this bird of prey and its ability to hunt for your pleasure. It is a sign of your status amongst the nobility, and you treasure the entertainment.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Brown Falcon Gloves are leather gloves with long cuffs to protect the forearm. They are made from brown dyed leather with two suede fingers. All joints around the fingers, wrists and edges are stitched, improving the strength of the material by preventing it from deforming with heavy use or from exposure to the environment. The fit of the gloves can be adjusted with leather lacing along the side of the cuff.

These gloves are fully compatible with other Epic Armoury metal and leather items. Their low-fantasy look and moderate style can be used with a multitude of settings, allowing freedom to create your own unique costume.

HISTORY

As the patriarch of the clan he will not bow down to any nothing, who attempts to mauraud his village. He might look old with his silver beard, scarred face and furrowed brow, but his stark blue eyes are flinty and intimidating.The many scars that mar his body show how stalwart and steady he’s been through his long life as a warrior.

“Today is no different”, he thinks staring angrily at the monstrous horned figure, that emerges from the mist between the longhouse and the road beyond. As he places his hand on the pommel of his trusty Dreki Sword hanging from his belt, the action emboldens him and fills him with strength. In true Stalwart manner he decides that an insult is the proper way to get this fight going. “Vel kominn, elskar af geitr!” he roars…

DETAILS

Behold the Stronghold Dreki Sword: Sea serpents, dire-wolves and competing Viking-scum will not stand a chance!

This splendid 102 cm sword has a 67 cm fullered blade designed to be lightweight while maintaining its structural stability. Made from EVA foam surrounding a fibreglass core and finished with a strong and impressive paintwork, this sword is just as soft as any latex coated weapon but even more sturdy in battle, and another significant addition to the Stronghold line! 

The longer version exhibits a 20 cm long, highly detailed spacer made from polyurethane foam, that is sculpted and hand painted to resemble real leather with cross- stitching.The golden crossguard features an elaborate serpent-like embellishment, and the handle is cast and painted to look like realistic hardwood with a crescent gold-pommel at the bottom.

Due to the density of the blade, there is a chance of paint being rubbed off due to the friction caused when the blade and another dry surface makes contact. To mitigate this, we advise you to coat the blade with a thin layer of silicone, which will reduce the friction and in turn stress on the paint

The Stronghold Dreki Sword is high quality gear due to its impressive durability and magnificent details. This sword will make you confident in the safety and appeal of your LARP weapon on the battlefield, be you a glorious Viking or a headhunting Celt

The finest closed cel foam weapons on the battlefield!
