Stronghold Earl Sword

You became a ruler during war time, and so you feel more at east with the Earl Sword in your hand than the feathered quill you now use to write a long and tiresome letter. The sword, with its beautiful craftsmanship, now sits polished over the mantel.

Your gaze turns to that sword now, gleaming in the firelight. In times of peace one should never hope for conflict, but you find yourself craving the thrill of one last fight.

DETAILS

Stronghold’s Earl Sword is a medium sword inspired by celtic designs. The sword is 76 cm long and has a 57 cm double-edged blade with a central ridge. The detailed handle--with its celtic inspired crossguard and pommel--features a handpainted finish that looks like faded bronze. The 10 cm grip is cast and painted to look like cherrywood, ergonomically shaped to fit the hand.

Stronghold weapons are foam weapons designed for tough combat at LARPs. They require no maintenance, unlike latex weapons, and feature detailed polyurethane handles.

This Stronghold blade is crafted using a unique Epic Foam that weighs the same as latex without requiring the constant upkeep. Additionally, the blade tip is stab-proof thanks to our new innovative construction. Lightweight and shaped with a realistic and cushioned edge, this weapon is designed to be safe--leaving your friends unbruised and unbroken!

INSPIRATION

• Celtic knots, called ‘icovellavna,’ are most known for their use in Christian documents and monuments after the 7th century
• The interwoven cords in an icovellavna are called ‘plaits’

The Dead Shall be Delivered by Your Shield

Epic Armoury’s Sleipnir Iarla Shield is a round latex shield that will be your companion to Hel and back. You fear no heroic and dangerous quest with your Iarla Shield at your side! Inspired by early Vikings and Saxons, this Live Action Role Play (LARP) safe shield is carved from EVA foam to look like true wood. Coated in a layer of durable latex, it features a wood grain texture on both the front and back--something that makes this shield truly unique and perfect for a truly immersive look. You can even find small sculpted nails hammered into the braces, because attention to detail is so important.

This shield has been hand painted, with white and black stripes and a ring of red Norse-inspired horses decorating its face. Its slight convex shape and the metallic-painted boss on the front provides an edge in combat, and its reliable punch-grip fits comfortably in your hand thanks to its suede wrap and shape. Keep your shield in great condition with regular latex maintenance.

The Best of All Horses

• Iarla is the Irish word for ‘Earl,’ which makes it perfect for higher ranking warriors in your tribe
• Sleipnir was an eight-legged horse ridden by Odin in Norse mythology, and in some stories it was responsible for carrying the dead to the otherworld
• The Shield Boss--the round, convex piece of material at the centre of the shield--was used to deflect blows
• Round wooden style was predominantly used in the early European Middle Ages using light, non-splintering wood such as linden, fir, alder or poplar
• Available in 70cm or 80cm diameter

Fend of Ragnar and his pet priest with a good poking.

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

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

One day you will add to its story.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Viking Spear is a 190 cm latex spear with a long, leaf-shaped ridged spearhead. Handpainted and sculpted to give it a realistic look, the Viking Spear’s 40 cm spearhead appears to be attached to a long pole with metal bolts. A crossguard is attached to the head to protect your grip along the dark wood-coloured pole, while a matching metal pommel can be used to strike unsuspecting opponents when the spearhead is busy.

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.

HISTORY

• A form of the spear has been used for hunting for at least 400,000 years
• Spears were the most common form of weaponry during the Stone Age, and remained popular until firearms were introduced

Legend

Historically speaking, it would seem, some Viking commanders received the title of Hersir. Proud warriors, their prowess were told by the skalds across the land. These leaders had the reputation of organizing, prepare and lead the best assaults on their enemies.

If at the start of the millenium, the title of Hersir included the role of a leader, or military commander, it was later recognized as being a representative of the royalty to the scandinavian communities. “So it the law! By my arm, so is the king’s will!”

The Hersir viking sword is inspired from the universe of Seyrawyn, a work by Martial Grisé and Maryse Pepin. On their lands where many cultures go alongside druids and dragons, only the accomplished viking warriors can carry the sword Hersir, the infamous weapon of the gods’ justice, and the will of the king.

Workshop

The making of the Hersir viking sword again required the experience and innovation Calimacil is known for. Pushing the limits of the possible, the team ended up with a sword of great quality. The guard, of historical inspiration, of this weapon presents engravings depicting the nobility of the dragons. Its wooden handle, sporting 2 engraved metal rings, refines the looks as a whole. On its pommel, a vergvisir, a viking compass will show the way to go to the adventurous. Finally, on the blade and its fantasy-inspired curves, celtic knots melt together into the pattern, giving the Hersir a royal elegance.

Character

The formidable Hersir is made for all ages, young and old! Be you a warrior, a rogue, a dwarf, an elf, an orc, a skaven or even a prince, with this blade in hand, you will be assured to uphold the law wherever you go!

As she quietly slits the guard’s throat with a swift and controlled movement, Cas makes sure to hold him, so he doesn’t make any noise and attracts unwanted attention, when he hits the ground.

The devious Lord that hired her and a couple of poor scumbag mercenaries seemed to forget to pay for her services. A content smile spreads across her face, and she draws her sword again sneaking against the ivy covered stone wall. This visit will be over before anyone can say “scoundrel”...

Epic Armoury proudly presents yet another addition to the Stronghold line: Wield our Stronghold Arming Sword and experience an era past with this powerful and charmingly simple Medieval-inspired weapon!

 This 105 cm sword has a 67 cm fullered blade designed to be lightweight, while maintaining its structural stability. Made from EVA foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong and impressive paintwork, this sword is just as soft as any latex coated weapon but even more sturdy in battle!

 The longer version exhibits a 20 cm long fullered spacer made from polyurethane foam, that is sculpted and hand painted. The gold coloured crescent crossguard is embellished with subtle steel details, and the handle is cast and painted to appear like brown criss-crossed leather. A flat crescent pommel at the end of the handle stands as a promise, that this no-fuss-sword will get the job done for you.

Due to the density of the blade, there is a chance of paint being rubbed off due to the friction caused when the blade and another dry surface makes contact. To mitigate this, we advise you to coat the blade with Epic Armoury Protection Gel rather than regular maintenance silicone spray, which will reduce the friction and in turn stress on the paint.

 The Stronghold Arming Sword is high quality gear due to its impressive durability and magnificent details. This sword will make you confident in the safety and appeal of your LARP weapon on the battlefield, whether you are part of an outlaw group or a lone ranger

A SHARP TOUCH OF HISTORY

 “One of the very best swords anyone in the Northern Lands has carried…”

– The Saga of King Rolf Kraki, chapter 30

Have you ever dreamt of wielding a Viking sword with a historically authentic design? Then your saga is about to begin! The EirikR Sword is made as a collaboration between artisans of Epic Armoury and archaeologists from Lejre Land of Legends. It is designed to match the Osted Sword found in 1887 near the town of Osted in Lejre, Denmark. Due to its pattern-welded blade and the herringbone ornamentation with silver and copper on the crossguard and pommel, archaeologists assess that the sword most likely belonged to a king or a highly esteemed housecarl. As part of our Stronghold Master Collection, the EirikR Sword is a durable, high-quality LARP weapon that adheres to history without compromising safety. A perfect weapon for any Viking roleplayer or historical reenactor, stalwartly standing within mead halls, aboard Viking ships or on the open battlefield. The eyes of the Allfather rest upon you!
