HISTORY

• Leather has been used for gloves for thousands of years
• Leather gloves were used for a better grip on tools and to protect the hands

As you infiltrate the city, you pass by the gates completely unnoticed in your Altair Cowl. Had the guards known your intentions, you’d be hunted as a killer. Thankfully today no one knows that you have such a mission.

You find your target as he enters his hideout, two of his guards at his side. There might be a way to get inside without detection--and that’s when you spot the open window on the third floor. That won’t be too difficult to reach. Not for a skilled assassin such as you.

The again-walker's eyes were lit with balefire. It had died a hero, but had still been denied entry to the Valhall. It had been tasked with standing vigil inside the burial chambers in case the people of Eyri ever came returned to take back what had once been theirs. The only comfort to be found in its sluggish thoughts, as black as the skin of the draug itself, was that at least its sword could change size with it and slay even a fierce jotunn.

This Way Evil Comes

Epic Armoury’s Draug Sword is a medium latex LARP sword inspired by high-fantasy villains and undead creatures. The sword is 115 cm long and has a straight double-edged blade with two fullers. The 19cm wide crossguard is hand painted and textured to look like worn and chipped steel, embellished with a skeleton face cast in polyurethane foam. The matching pommel has a common ‘scent-stopper’ shape often seen throughout the middle ages. Much like a real sword, the grip also features a grooved and ergonomic shape, and is wrapped in a layer of dark leather.

Whether you are a necromancer or the dead come to life, this sword is offers incredible quality due to its durability and detail. The blade is made from EVA foam around a 10mm solid fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that requires little maintenance. This next generation model sword is meant to last a lot longer than a typical latex LARP weapon--all without sacrificing the aesthetic you deserve.

Inspiration

• Draug is the Danish word for an undead creature from Norse mythology
• The draug were said to guard treasure inside burial mounds, and were incredibly strong
• It was said that a mean or greedy person could become a draug after they died
