As the Princess slowly disengaged the blade from between the ribs of the fourth knight foolish enough to attempt her rescue, the Dragon decided that this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Your kingdom has been occupied by an evil force. Cruel rulers have dethroned you and sent you into hiding while your people are used as slaves and tortured. As the princess, you cannot allow this to continue.

You look the part of a queen, armed with your Princess Sword and decorated in a fine set of golden armour. You are meeting with your warriors in secret, plotting a way to free your kingdom from tyranny. Together you will ignite the fire that will begin a war. You will not stand down. You are prepared to do everything it takes to win back what is rightfully yours.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's Princess Sword is a short sword with a comfortable split-leather wrapped handle. The crossguard has an elegant design, detailed with golden engravings and precious gems to give it a luxurious appearance. At the end of its 13 cm grip is a heart-shaped pommel with the same rich detailing. The blade has a graceful fuller running its 44 cm length with gold runic details carved near the hilt.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a 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. Whether your business is running the realm, defending your subjects, or just looking good, this sword is the right choice for you.

HISTORY

• Considered to be a long knife and is similar in size and shape to a thrusting dagger called a dirk
• Used as a personal sidearm by officers
• A fuller, or the groove that runs the length of the blade, was added to weapons to lighten the blade while adding structural strength

Hedgerow is an never ending maze within the fae realms, twisting and turning and leading the unsuspecting to the unknown. The hedges themselves are beautiful, however, as many dangerous things are.

You are native to these lands and so you do not have fear, but you are still careful not to damage the shrubbery with your Royal Elf Sword while traversing the maze. It is never wise for even a Fae Lord to threaten that which has a mind of its own.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Royal Elf Sword is a latex-hybrid medium weapon with incredibly realistic details inspired by the high-fantasy Ethereal Universe. The sword has a double-edged latex blade inspired by the slashing-effective leaf shape. The crossguard and handle is made of polyurethane, shaped and painted to look like carved gold and silver metal with a wooden core and red gem embellishment.

The style is easily compatible with Epic Armoury's other Ethereal range of blades, bows, armour and clothes, giving you the freedom to customize the style and gear for your prospective elven needs. The blade is made from closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that allows for greater detail and no maintenance. This hybrid model sword will give you confidence in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield.

Available in sizes 100 cm, 85 cm, and 60 cm.

Donning your kimono and Jin Baori every morning is as much a ritual as a tea ceremony. Carefully inspected and folded the night before, it is of the utmost importance that a samurai of your stature maintain a pristine uniform. To look sloppy implies that your discipline is lacking--and by that logic, your swordsmanship must be, too.

Instead of risking such dishonor to your reputation, you take the care that is necessary. There will not be a thread out of place.

DETAILS

The Epic Armoury Jin Baori is a traditional open overcoat to be worn over a high-ranking samurai’s armour. Reaching from the shoulders to the mid-thigh and edged with broad golden bands along the collar and hem, this handsome garment adds detail and interest to an Asian-inspired costume. Fit shoulder armour outside the Jin-Baori by threading straps through the four eyelets located on the back and front. Each eyelet is clearly marked by golden edging, adding strength and aesthetic appeal.

On the back, the Jin-Baori has two slits allowing maximum mobility. These slits also allow a sword to hang comfortably from a belt beneath the coat. The garment is made of durable, but comfortable cotton with gold coloured cotton edging. Fully compatible with Epic Armoury's other Asian styles, the Jin-Baori is for the warrior looking to display his status and skill on the field of glory.

HISTORY

• Historically made for armoured samurai to wear
• Considered a type of haori, which is a kimono-like jacket that adds formality to an outfit
• Traditionally a male garment until the Meiji period

Silence. Perfect silence.

You use the silence as a cloak of armour, masked in the darkness and waiting for danger to show itself. You ready your sword, prepared to launch your deadly attack should your Lord’s assassins appear. One quick slice and they will breathe their last, you sword hitting its mark and your Kimono becoming soaked in their dark red blood. When you vanish once more, you’ll leave any of their allies bewildered and afraid.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dark Red Kimono is a traditional Japanese T-shaped robe with ¾ length sleeves made from heavy red cotton and a reinforced collar. Reaching from the shoulders to the upper thighs, this garment is a great base to an Ancestral costume. The Kimono is worn by tying the left over the right side, securing its cotton straps located on the inside and outside of the waist. The sleeves hang loose just above the wrists, leaving the hands free and allowing the greatest possible freedom of action.

Fully compatible with Epic Armoury's other Asian styles, the Kimono is a great basis for almost any samurai-inspired character you wish to make - be it honourable warrior or dishonoured thief.

HISTORY

• A traditional Japanese garment since the 8th century
• Resembles a kosode, which is a shorter sleeved kimono worn with a hakama
• Traditionally secured with a sash tied at the back called an obi
• Always traditionally tied with the left over the right side, except when dressing the dead
