EirikR Sword 83cm

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!

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 and you feel the thud of his sword against your Viking Leg Protection, but it hardly makes a scratch. 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 Ironshood. Let them fear you. Let them all fear you.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Viking Leg Protection is a set of greaves inspired by ancient splint armour. At first glance, the Viking Leg Protection may appear fragile, but don’t let that fool you! These greaves can be worn over leather or clothing, and the vertical steel strips offer excellent protection of your shins without encumbering you or hindering your mobility.

Three leather straps are used to keep each of the Viking Leg Protection greaves in place. Made of 1 mm mild galvanized steel and top-grain leather straps and fittings, these armour pieces are built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.

HISTORY

• Splint armour is believed to originate over 2000 years ago
• Splint armour was commonly found in greave or vambrace form, protecting the limbs

Shield Bash!

Your shield sends a goblin clear off his feet, landing in a pile of his buddies. They miscalculated your massive strength, and are reeling backwards on the retreat. So much for supposed alliances--you can feel the goblin blood soaked clear down to your Tunic. They have learned too late that betraying an Orc of the Black Water would mean death. It’s too bad they won’t be able to share the word with their kin.

“The winter was relentless. Helt felt it as he left the great hall, which, too, was cold at this hour. His family had donned their winter attire months ago, but many peasants had no such luxury. There had even been whispers that this winter would be the final one. The Fimbul. His wife and children scoffed at such talk in public but enquired with him in the dark evenings. The fear of their future was clear in their eyes. He reassured them of the warmth to come, and no living soul knew that he also felt the clutches of doubt. But he knew high spirits were essential to survive and thrive in the North. Thus he proclaimed that spring would soon arrive. Also, this year.”
