Battleworn Ranger Sword

LOOKS CAN BE DECIEVING

First of all: this sword is no virgin. Designed to appear as though it has seen countless battles, Epic Armoury’s Battleworn Ranger Sword comes with a non-pristine look like rusty spots and nicks and scratches. It looks grimed, aged and not at all well-cared for. Secondly, it has character; it could very likely be the trusty blade of a heroic outlaw or an unscrupulous assassin. Maybe it got picked up by a scavenging orc as stolen goods after a battle, or maybe it belongs to a daughter of a nomadic warrior clan. The possibilities for using it when crafting LARP characters seems almost inexhaustible.

Make no mistake though; The Battleworn Ranger Sword is as dependable as any clean blade in our broad range of products and you can feel absolutely sure that this hybrid model sword will give you confidence in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield. This 60 cm short latex-hybrid sword is impressively durable and is inspired by medieval weapons and fantasy lore alike. The crossguard features an intricate curved design that protects a leather-like grip. This grip, wide by the crossguard and narrow toward the golden “scent stopper” pommel, is ergonomic in your hand. The blade is made from closed cell foam around a fiberglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that allows for greater detail and no maintenance.

HISTORY

• Considered to be a long knife and is similar in size and shape to a thrusting dagger called a “dirk”
• Used as a personal sidearm by officers
• The pommel design is called a “scent stopper” design, popular in the 16th century. In shape it resembles the top on old crystal perfume bottles

You’ve been on the run from the bandit gang all night after escaping from their hideout, and while they scour the roads and search in town, you’ve taken to the woods. You’re a smart adventurer, after all--or at least one that is smart enough to still be alive.

Hiding in the underbrush and using your Ready-for-Battle Arthur Cape as camouflage, you decide to wait the bandits out until you can sneak away with their loot. Of course, your plan doesn’t really account for the possibility of running into wild beasts.

Here’s hoping the wolves aren’t hungry.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ready-for-Battle Cape Arthur is an ankle-length cape, fitted with a hood and cotton-strap fastenings.

Capes are also highly practical in limiting the impact of wind, rain or sun.

The Ready-for-Battle Cape Arthur is a classic cut and will be usable by any character in any game world, allowing freedom when customizing equipment for your characters. Secure the cape around the neck by tying the cotton-straps. Made from comfortable light cotton, this cape is easily made water resistant with a treatment at home.

HISTORY

• One of the oldest garments known to humanity
• Common fashion in medieval Europe, especially when combined with a hood
• Capes that fasten at the neck were typically worn by women throughout history

Legend

General Magnus, during the long years of his career, brought forward the cause of the empire, but also its borders. Great strategist and formidable warrior, he led his troops with discipline and strength. However, the long days of the soldier were ending with his old age : his arm was slower, and even if his mind was as sharp as ever, he wasn't strong enough to go on another campaign.

As a mark of respect for the general, the Emperor made sure he would never be forgotten. When the soldier got back to his small village, ready to live out the rest of his days in peace, he gave his sword back to his ruler. As he had been of a great help to the realm, the Emperor got sure his sword got hung up high in the great hall of the castle. That way, generations of knights, soldiers and noblemen would remember him and his deeds to the empire.

Workshop

This new model of the Magnus bastard sword still has every strong aspect of the former : its foam blade is perfectly safe while still being realistic. However, its colours have been greatly improved. The new blade is now steel-coloured and its handle is part ternished gold, part brown and part steel to give it a unique look. 

Characters

The first will appreciate the weapon's prestige while the latter will prefer its simple efficiency. Simple enough for a wandering warrior, but prestigious enough for noblemen, this bastard sword will please every one of its wearers.
