Celtic Dagger

The thick blanket of white snow that was covering the battlefield this very morning has turned a mucky red. All around you wounded and dead men are piling up. You are lying on the hard, frozen ground on your back with the leader of a long-time rivalling tribe sitting on top of you both hands around your neck trying to strangle the life out of you. “This is it”, you think as you stare into his wild and bloodshot eyes. “This is how this battle ends.” Just before your eyes darken and you almost slip away from this world, you grab your Celtic Dagger and pierce your enemy straight in the throat.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Celtic Dagger is a 46 cm weapon that has a narrow, 29 cm two-edged blade with a central ridge.

Whether your business is running the tribe, collecting herbs for healing or hunting for boar, this multi-purpose tool is for you.

The enemy’s front line is impenetrable thanks to their shield wall. Fighting has become a stalemate, both sides pushing, but neither able to gain even an inch. That’s when they call for you and your legendary Dane Axe.

You arrive to the front amongst soldiers that are exhausted and bloody, who regain their energy when they see you at their side. With a fell swoop your axe cuts across the enemy line, beyond their shields and into their ranks.

The tides of battle begin to turn in your favor.

You admire the Viking Armour that belonged to your father. The great warrior sailed his last voyage, but your brethren still managed to bring back his armour specially for you. For that, at least, you are grateful.

Looking down upon the sturdy, freshly polished steel, you wonder what this armour has seen. Carried on countless travels, this armour may have been covered in blood raiding the English coast, tarnished under the sun of Spain, and used in defense of Miklagard.

One day you will add to its story.

You are laughing too loud. You realize it must be scaring your enemy, because no one wants to face you on the frontline anymore. They think you are crazed. Maybe you are, because the adrenaline of being in a battle has left you feeling drunk with exhilaration.

If no one will come to you, it’s time to bring the fight to them! One poor soldier desperately strikes at you, but your Viking Shield deflects his attempt easily. You see the terror in his eyes as your laugh fills the field and you bring the strength of your axe down upon him.

You are Raynor Ironshod. Let them fear you. Let them all fear you.

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.

Your Celtic Leaf Sword cuts down another goblin, leaving him in a pile of his buddies. They miscalculated your massive strength, and are reeling backwards on the retreat.

You adjust your sword, letting out a battle cry of rage as another goblin aims for your ankles. This one goes flying fifteen paces.

Freydis was one of the leaders of a dangerous expedition to Vinland. Many perils awaited her and her group: hunger, disease and strange natives with unknown weapons and tactics. After her arrival, things were quick to become sour: relentless attacks made her allies weakened and fearful. During one of such raids, she saw her allies and warriors fleeing the battle. But she would not budge. Grabbing her sword, she proceeded to inflict herself a terrible wound to show her comrades she would not back down. With an inspiring battlecry, she charged head first into battle, which shook her allies, who came to her side. The sword she held this day became legend, and many believe they will never know fear while holding it.

Legend

Many years had passed, seeing old wars come to an end and new ones rise. The forest that belonged to Mael’s clan had shrunk, making way for the denser housing that had allowed its growing population to flourish. As his grandchild sat kneeling before him, he tried to remember why he had once thought the refugees would be such a threat but could only see his beloved wife’s eyes in the teen’s face.

“I do not know what the future holds for you but you have grown up strong and capable. You have learned our traditions well, both of our clan and of your grandmother’s ancestors. Your turn has come to walk in your parents’ footsteps and aid in guarding our peace.”

One at a time, Mael opened the folds of fabric and slowly unveiled a dagger. It bore a striking resemblance to his own but had been refashioned to represent the cultures that had come together as one within his lifetime. As he handed the weapon over, the youth’s eyes were bright; Mael prayed that these eyes would not be lost to this new war that drew near.
