Corsair Cutlass

The underdark is your domain. In the pitch blackness, the smell of damp earth all around, you wait with your raiding party. When night falls on the lands above, you will emerge.

The sun-lovers have come to fear you and the silence in which you strike. With your leather gear and Corsair Cutlass, you are able to maneuver in the shadows until your target is exactly where you want him. You are formidable. You are the assassin.

DETAILS

This bestselling Epic Armoury Corsair Cutlass is a single-edged blade with a handguard specially made for Dark Elf raiders. The sword is 95 cm long from tip to pommel, with a 65 cm blade. The blade curves slightly and is thicker toward the tip with a false edge on the reverse side to give it the chopping and piercing power necessary to dominate a bloody battlefield. The handguard gives it a stylish look, protecting the ergonomic grip of the split-leather wrapped handle.

The blade was designed for dark deeds, but is a great choice for anyone looking for an exotic-looking cutlass. Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid 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.

INSPIRATION

• Dark elves were first mentioned in Norse mythology as the “Dökkálfar” or “Svartálfar” written in the Prose Edda in the 13th century

• Have also been referred to as “Drow” in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, made famous by R.A. Salvatore’s The Dark Elf Trilogy.

Sure you could* use this to fasten rope around a fixed point on a yard arm, but it's much more effective as an improvised weapon to slug someone in near quarters.

*No, you couldn't. Please note that the Epic Armoury belaying pin is not a naval use device and is intended for roleplay purposes only.

You are part of a small group of men that have been secretly conspiring against your captain for weeks now. The time to act has come; the captain has grown suspicious and your chance to take control of the ship may slip away from you like badly secured rigging slipping through your hands during a storm.

You catch him standing alone on deck staring into the distant horizon. This has to be done quickly and quietly. You wallop your Belaying Pin swift and hard on the back of this poor bugger’s head before he can even scream: “Mutiny!”

Mud squelched under Emmerich's worn boots, a constant rhythm against the clang of steel. Another day, another skirmish. Hunger gnawed at his belly, worse than the ever-present chill. He envied the Landsknechts with their gleaming breastplates and booming wages. They were like walking fortresses, respected for their skill. Emmerich was just another grunt, a nameless face in the endless war, expendable cannon fodder. He clenched his fists around his rusty sword. Maybe this time, he'd prove himself. Maybe this time, with a lucky strike or a daring maneuver, he'd rise above the mud. Maybe this time, he'd be more than just another forgotten soldier.
