Long Elven Axe

The elven army is an incredibly dangerous one, as its members have all trained longer than most mortals have been alive. You are a member of such army. Dressed in matching armour, you stand at attention with your nearly identical kindred, your Long Elf Axe standing at your side in a row.

There is no fear on your face as your Lord sits upon his stag and surveys the orcs before you. The orcs gather in their chaos, their numbers far out matching your own. But still you do not fear, for every elf is worth at least ten of the enemy.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Long Elf Axe is a deadly 147 cm two-handed axe designed for swift elven hands against the worst orc shield-walls and battle formations. It has a 55 cm axe-blade with a long, curved beard which has been hand painted to look like real metal. The head is actually made of soft foam, reinforced with a harder foam core. It attaches to the beautiful golden wood textured shaft which is hand painted and sculpted to look like real wood grain.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, your new LARP long axe will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your ethereal kit.

HISTORY

• The first hafted axe was created about 6,000 B.C. using birch-tar and raw-hide lashings to fix the blade to its handle
• Many battle axes doubled as tools and were cheaper to make than swords

This bestselling Epic Armoury Maintenance Silicone is used for maintenance of Live Action Role Playing foam weapons and equipment covered with latex and/or varnish.

Directions for use:

Latex equipment must be coated with a thin layer of silicone at all times. This prevents the surfaces from drying out, and will prolong the lifespan of your latex equipment. Always check your latex equipment before and after each use. Spray the silicone directly onto your latex product and work it into the entire surface (avoiding leather handles) either with a piece of cloth or using a flat hand. If necessary, wipe off any excess with a dry cotton cloth. Always store your latex equipment in a dry and dark place.

Many of the humans believe that greatness comes from shining armour and flashing swords, but they don’t respect the smaller, more important pieces of gear that every adventurer needs. This is why you’ve bargained with the best unseelie fae craftsman on the Fae Plane to create this finely wrought, sturdy Epic Black Illumine Sword Holder.

It may not be as impressive as a flaming sword, or as grand as a set of armour, but this simple and sturdy frog will carry you through centuries of mischief.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Epic Black Illumine Sword Holder is a beautifully crafted leather frog designed to keep your weapon conveniently close. This frog is open at both ends, and features beautiful vine embossing and a soft inner lining to prevent scratches on your elven sword or dagger.

Match this Illumine Sword Holder with any character you wish to equip--especially a sophisticated elf or noble--by securing the holder to your belt through the reversible belt loops. Made from black, vegetable-tanned, full-grain leather and stitched with durable thread around the edges, this weapon holder is built to keep its shape and withstand the abuse of a LARP with regular leather care.

The Illumine Sword Holder can be worn left- or right-handed by reversing the removable leather straps.

At the narrowest point of the bag it is 10cm across and 4cm deep.

It is a perfect afternoon for a walk through the forest, the sun dappled and twinkling on the path as a peaceful breeze dances through the trees. You are gathering herbs for a medicinal potion to cure a young elf’s fever.

As you find the sponge-like moss beneath an ancient tree, you harvest a small handful and place it into your Elven Bag. A few more ingredients and you can return to your village to save your kindred.

A dainty crown upon thy head

Your prey is almost within range, tentative as she catches a whiff of something in the air. You have covered yourself in the dirt of the forest and smell more like pine than person, but the deer still seems uncertain.

She steps forward and you pull back the string on your loaded bow, peering down at her from beneath the leather of your Elven Head Band. This deer will feed you for the rest of the week, so you are careful as you take aim. You mustn’t miss your target if you are to eat.

With a sharp ‘thwap!’ your arrow hits its mark, clean and perfect. A painless end to a noble creature...and your dinner.

DETAILS

This bestselling Epic Armoury Elven Head Band is a slim decorative piece of head armour with a distinct elven feel. The headband is made from vegetable-tanned leather and fitted with an adjustable leather brace at the back. At the forehead, the headband is decorated with a flat leaf-shaped leather patch that rises over the forehead and stretches down to cover the bridge of the nose. At the temples it is fitted with cheek-pads closely covering the cheek and chin-bones, hovering a few centimetres before the mouth.

The Elven Head Band is clearly elven in style, but is compatible with other Epic Armoury leather products, allowing almost any character to round off their look with this stylish accessory.

One size fits all.

Never go into battle before first tasting your favorite ale. That is the advice you would give any of your fellow Dwarves, for you never know when this may be your last fight.

You slam your Battle Axe onto the table as you await the finest dark ale you know. The tavern was quiet before you walked inside, tense with the anticipation of a coming war, but you are loud and bring life back to its walls. You raise a toast to the barkeep and to any nearby, granting them glory on the battlefield before drinking deeply from your mug.

It would be a true shame to leave this world while thirsty.

You spend a long time deciding what to name your battle axe. It has to be perfect--something that will cause fear in the hearts of your enemies. You originally took the axe from an executioner in the last village you visited, a man whose job was to chop off the heads of thieves.
