A basic purse for coins, but you could probably put other things in there. Like interesting rocks, or bugs, or toes.

It has a leather draw strings, and a loop to attach it to your belt directly.

AVAST YE, SCALLYWAG!

Screeching gulls circled above our heads as we made our way to the coast. Our coats were no match for the relentless wind, but our attention was fixed on the flamboyant figures awaiting where waves meet the sand. Their curved cutlasses were drawn, and I understood this would be a standoff with skulls and crossbones, as promised. But my cutlass was sharper!

The Curved Cutlass is an iconic weapon for any naval character or urban character connected to shady establishments at the harbours. The weapon is inspired by designs used during the Age of Sail, which forms the setting in most maritime novels. While a cutlass may fit perfectly in the hands of a pirate, it is worth noting that the versatile design allows application with a wide range of characters, such as bold buccaneers, stout seafarers, decisive dock workers or bodacious bandits. Wealthier characters might instead wield a Curved Sabre. Despite status and station, any decent cutlass should have a story (or several) regarding the acquisition of the weapon. Which ones will you tell the crew?

The finest closed cel foam weapons on the battlefield!

Your squire buckles the straps of your custom-fit armour, adjusting it to be comfortable and snug over your gambeson. Then you are handed your piece-de-resistance: the Noble Sword. You paid top coin for this sword, and you expect people will be impressed when they see how it shines on the battlefield.

Your blacksmith assured you that the Noble Sword’s design was both effective and awe-inspiring, and you’re one to agree. You are a mighty warrior, indeed, to be the owner of such fine craftsmanship. A fitting symbol of your godly-given status.

DETAILS

This bestselling Epic Armoury Noble Sword is a longsword with a distinctive rapier-inspired hilt. The sword is 110 cm long from point to pommel, with a slim 85 cm double-edged blade. The piece-de-resistance is the cross-guard: a supported bar to catch slashing strikes and a mesh of elegantly circled wire to stop thrusting attacks. The long handle is wrapped in black split-leather and allows one or two-handed use, and is topped by an elegantly carved pommel.

This longsword has the look of a classical renaissance sword and can be used in almost any setting you require, especially if you are looking for refinement or the look of a seasoned veteran.

HISTORY

• Commonly referred to as a “broadsword,” which is actually a historically incorrect term
• Similar to the “cut & thrust swords” popular in the late 16th century, but with a longer handle

The hat is your share o’ the profit with a simple snatch from the man’s head.

A mighty fine Pirate Hat it is, too.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s “tricorne” Pirate Hat is handmade from natural full-grain quality leather and sturdy stitching, embellished with cotton canvas and laced leather around the brim. Inspired by popular 18th century hats of the time, its brim is turned up and pinned to form a triangle around the crown with leather lacing. With regular leather care, you can expect this hat to add a special touch to your kit for a long time!

HISTORY

• Referred to as a “tricorne” or “cocked hat”
