The adventuring crew that walks into your inn is covered in mud and gore, barely wiping their feet before trekking across your floors. With a sigh you greet them and offer them rooms. They want a meal, and you offer them that, too. It’s easy to dish out some cold gruel and a few loaves of bread into your Inn Keeper bowl, after all.

While adventurers do make a mess of things, they also have great coin. You make sure to charge them double the usual rate.

DETAILS

HISTORY

• The earliest dishes were made out of wood, and later developed into pottery

The hornsling "Castagir", from the house Fucina del Drago was decorated with elaborate, Celtic knot patterns. It is shaped slightly conical to its underside, so every horn sits securely in its place. Curved lines and an antique finish make this hornsling a very decorative piece, that highlights the unique "nordic" character of a drinking horn. For LARPer and medieval fans, it is a nice and practical accessory in which signal horns and upholstered weapons can also find their place well. Thanks to the sturdy leather lacing on the front, the diameter can be extended as you wish.

The waning moon and the myriad of stars watch you, following your journey to the ritual site. Although the way is dark, your eyes have no trouble finding the correct path. The ritual site is holy ground and you feel its power as you pause just beyond its circle.

Stepping forth, you set to work to begin your hallowed ceremony. The mead is poured and the magic thrums within the design of your Druid Drinking Horn. You drink deeply and begin to feel one with nature.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dark Druid Drinking Horn is a drinking vessel designed to hold half a liter of your finest mead. This genuine horn comes from the Indian water buffalo, and was chosen specifically for its darker colour. The outside is polished to perfection and engraved with a celtic-inspired pattern. The inside of the horn is treated for food consumption and longevity using a wax coating.

Enjoy cold 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 campfires! 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 Druid Drinking Horn to last many long years.
