Hendirun - Blade of the Scout

Though the road had so far brought no difficulties, the scout walked carefully with a measured gait along its path through the forest. At his waist, the amber eyes of a carved weasel shone out from the hilt of his weapon. Out of sight behind the scout, the rest of his small community advanced steadily across the arch of the moving sun in the direction of their hallowed great mound. Safe in the knowledge that threats would be thwarted by others like him, they filled baskets with the waning season’s fruit as they went. Their journey through this forest was long, however, and they had entered an area that connected several towns which could not be avoided. This scout’s mind wandered to memories reminiscent of last year’s bountiful foods that he would soon taste again.

As if on cue, his sharp ears caught rustling in the underbrush ahead. Barely changing his pace, he listened closely until he detected the unmistakable whistle of air that betrays people whispering. It wasn’t long before he could make out their words; these few were young ones, but their intentions were of the dangerous kind. Before the hidden teens could spot him, he set down his pack, drew his blade and let its animal’s soul blend into his. Then, with distinctly fluid movements, he slipped silently into the woods.

By the time the would-be assailants learned of his presence, it was already too late to react. He set upon them so swiftly that he appeared to them as more shadow than man and it was but moments before they were stumbling away with panicked cries of pain and fear. Satisfied with the lesson he had imparted, he retrieved his pack and resumed his course. He had left them alive but they carried with them a tale that would always mark their bodies and would strengthen old stories that spoke of a strange danger that awaited villains in the depths of the woods. Meanwhile, his people remained safe and unhindered as they traveled, their minds on holy and festive things to come…

Silence. Perfect silence.

You use the silence as a cloak of armour, masked in the darkness with the help of your Mempo, waiting for the perfect opportunity. You ready your throwing knives, ready to launch your deadly attack when the lord finally emerges from inside the keep. One quick flick of your wrist and the lord breathes his last, you knife hitting its mark...and you vanish, leaving their guards bewildered and afraid.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Mempo is a leather half-mask inspired by early Asian soldiers. This mask protects the face from the bridge of the nose to the chin. Four ventilation slits allow proper airflow through the mask’s mouth, designed to be comfortably worn for long periods of time. Secure the mask to your face by tying two long cotton-weave cords around the head.

Made from 3mm thick vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, Epic Armoury’s Mempo is designed to add a great layer to your fantasy or historic costume. With the best quality materials, this mask is built to withstand extensive abuse with regular leather care.

HISTORY

• Worn by Japanese and Chinese infantry and cavalry from as early as 200 BC
• Used to balance and secure top-heavy helmets, often decorated to give the wearer an extra fierce look

The best made armour is crafted by the most skilled smiths, the leather worked with such precision and care that the wearer can move unhindered, but still protected on the battlefield.

You have commissioned a leather crafter to create a pair of Samurai Bracers for you. Before she is paid you want to be certain it is properly made armour, and so you conduct a test. With the bracers properly tied to your arm, you perform a series of sword drills, faster than the eye can properly see.

The bracers are perfect.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Samurai Bracers are a set of leather vambraces designed to protect the forearms and hands in combat. Made from full-grain leather, these bracers have been sculpted to comfortably follow the shape of the arms. The leather has been hardened and the edges curved to add structural strength that will ensure added protection and longevity.

Comfortably secure the Samurai Bracers by lacing the leather cords on the underside and tightly wrap the heavy cotton fabric around the wrist. Attach the handguard by gripping the cotton cord around the knuckles. Inspired by Asian traditional armour, these bracers are perfectly matched with other products from Epic Armoury’s Asian Universe.

HISTORY

• Hand and arm protection are one of the oldest forms of armour, due to its importance in combat
• This particular style might also be referred to as a demi-gauntlet, due to its limited finger protection

Among the Druids, those chosen by the Owl and blessed by its wisdom are responsible to perform the great revival rituals. Guiding the Sentinels of Gaia by listening to the whispers of the forest, they reached the sacred grove, where earth and moss scented the air, and silence held reverence. Swiftly, the small community started installing the camp and cheers of anticipation of the coming ritual and festivities could be heard.

In the twilight hours the Druids gathered around a sacred stone. With a soft murmur of incantations, the Druids raised their staffs high. The owl-headed crown of the staff shimmering in the rising moonlight. Closing their eyes, they reached out with their senses, feeling the pulse of the earth beneath their feet and the heartbeat of the forest all around them. A dance of energy and resolve woven together with the threads of magic that permeated the grove. With each movement, the Druids called upon the spirits of the forest to lend their strength, their voices rising in harmony with the rustling leaves and the gentle sigh of the wind. As the ritual reached its crescendo, a sense of renewal washed over the grove, filling the air with a tangible sense of hope and vitality. The trees seemed to sway in time with the Druid's movements, their branches reaching towards the sky in silent celebration of the renewed magic that coursed through their veins. And so, beneath the watchful gaze of a perched great owl, the Druids completed their sacred task, their spirits lifted by the knowledge that they had played their part in the eternal dance of life and death that bound the forest together. With a final gesture of gratitude to the spirits of the land, they turned and signaled the start of the festivities, their hearts light with the knowledge that they had honored the ancient duty between nature and soul.

Don't ever underestimate Elves, son. What your impulsive, young eye sees as irrelevant carousing and carelessness hides a profound streak of sadness for a world they see decaying with each sunrise. What Elves sing and celebrate about when around Humans and Dwarves, they mourn when alone. For some, this sadness is too strong; they expiate it by throwing themselves against their enemies with no care for their lives. Among the most dangerous warriors to come from such desperate souls are the Forest Blades, pitiless fanatics armed with exceedingly deadly swords. They are as lethal as they are silent in the hands of those who have nothing to lose in a world they no longer consider theirs.

Your Nodachi was handed to you by your master, many years ago. It had been a bittersweet moment for you, because while it meant you had overcome all obstacles in your training, it also meant that it was time to set out on your own.

You find the handle comforting, your hand finding its usual well-worn grip. As a traveling samurai--a ronin--your sword is your only consistent companion.

You look beyond the campfire where a fresh fish now cooks, sizzling in the heat, looking to the flickering shadows along the treeline. You have the sense that tonight you and your sword may once again be tested as you hear the unmistakable snap of a twig, your grip on its handle tightening in anticipation.

Like all the kids in his city, Sashi wanted to become a samurai. Before one of them, his eyes became full of stars and he thought of the encounter for days. Like any other kid, never he would have dared to take to one, so important next to his little person. Like everyone, he dreamt day and night about what he could accomplish later in life.

What took him appart from the other boys his age was his iron will. While they played, every moment he had was used for combat training, protocol lessons and martial arts practice. By 15, while they helped their parents in the fields, he was accepted as a pupil of a samurai. He would have the honour of learning from him the ancient arts. Before being a samurai himself, he could not wield the katana; his master’s wakizashi was all he needed.
