Arkhol - Dark Elf Naginata

The fresh carcass of the arachnid was laying at the foot of the initiate. Still exhausted from the fight, he knew he could not stay longer in the middle of the viscous nest of these chitinous creatures. Grossly cutting the giant spider's remains, he began to harvest his trophy, proof of his success. A fang, some viscera and pieces of shell were enough to make a solid weapon, a spear he will use for the rest of his life. When he returns, he will finally be an accomplished warrior.

Workshop

While creating this weapon, we wanted to make a very detailed naginata with a multitude of nested pieces to represent the organic complexity of a spider.

When you fear a battle at any moment, you seldomly travel anywhere without your armour. Poisonous and spined creatures and weapons are common, and that’s why you have your Dark Elf Right Arm Bracer to protect your exposed right arm.

The dark leather and functional design make this arm protection an essential survival piece in the underdark, and you would not go without it.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dark Elf Right Arm Bracer is a heavy-duty, black leather gauntlet designed to protect the knuckles to the elbows. Made from overlapping leather plates, this unique piece features a long list of exciting designs. Along the elbow there is a runed stone-like guard with a leather spike--showing that you mean business. The wristguard is spined like a dragon tail, and the handguard includes three leather spikes along the knuckles. All elements are stitched around the edges to add structure and prevent deformation.

Secure this gauntlet to your hand by sliding your middle finger through the leather loop attached to the knuckle shield. The cuff is secured with three soft leather straps that wrap over the hard shell and around the elbow, forearm and wrist.

Fearsome to behold and designed to appear sharp and deadly, use this armour with an assortment of secretive and dangerous characters. It can be worn with Epic Armoury’s matching Dark Elf armours or on its own.

Please note that this gauntlet is designed for right-hand use.

HISTORY

• Hand protection is 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

Blade for a Fang

The steel of his weapon, as polished as the sharp hook of the arachnid before him, reflected the light of a phosphorescent crystal on the soldier’s face. The two opponents, calculating the next attack of their rival, were anchored in their defensive position. The Ungoll warrior knew that after a single misstep he could lose his life. Fortunately, he told himself, he was accompanied by his precious dagger. If the spider could chop his leg with its jaw, he could survive one more day with a movement of his blade.

Workshop

The dark elf dagger is a short weapon and easy to handle. Made from the unique Calimacil Foam, it can be used extensively and remain safe for years. Available in several colors, recalling the different Ungoll professions, its external details are reminiscent of insect shells. The texture of the blade, meanwhile, is a reminder of hammered metal and its hamon is inspired by Japanese weapons.

Character

This very well balanced weapon is perfect for dual weilding. With its versatile form, it is equally suitable for Drow soldiers as well as thieves and assassins. The Vampire Lords will also find their account in his style recalling the forces of chaos.

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

You find the soft leather along the handle comforting, your hand finding its usual well-worn grip.

You are the kindred of the immortals, having honed your skills for hundreds of years. No normal mortal being can surprise you.

”Come out of hiding,” you call over your shoulder. “I know you are there.”

The tall marble vault of the upper temple echoed the duel. "Again!" exclaimed his master-in-arms after having disarmed him once more. Picking up his weapon with a firm hand, the disciple returns to his defensive position, his gaze still pierced with humiliation.
