Apron

A Lord Mayor once made jest with one of his cooks telling her that the apron was what kept her clothes clean in the same manor that his faceless assassins kept his hands and so she had spent more time with a blade than he. She later poisoned his food.

You’ve been baking all day, preparing the meat pies sold in your shop window. Flour cakes your arms up to your elbows, and as you wipe at your face with the corner of your Apron, you leave more flour on your face. As you prepare another crust, you see a pair of small hands nabbing a pie from your counter.

You are well versed in pie-thieves. Wielding your rolling pin, you thwack the would-be thief across the knuckles. The halfling squeals in pain, running out the shop door as you return to baking. Good riddance!

DETAILS

A decorative hemline in bright yellow fabric has been added to the bottom edge, giving the illusion of more layers to your costume.

Secure the Apron by tying the cotton straps around your waist. While considered a practical layer to protect your costume, this is also a great way to add complexity and depth to your kit. Easily match this garment with other Epic Armoury clothing in order to best fit your unique character.

The sword sits in your baldric hanging down over your Fencing Shirt, faithful to its master despite the challenges. It has been a long and dusty road, but that sword has remained at your side through it all.

As your infantry unit comes to a halt, there is the tension one always feels before the fight. You resist the anxiety, because the moment you step into battle all of that must fade away. It will be you fighting alongside your fellow soldiers, and it will be the sword hanging in your trusted baldric that keeps you alive.
