Black Anduril

At the end of the Second Age of Middle Earth, Narsil's blade was shattered as Elendil fell during the last alliance of Elves and Men in the great battle against Sauron. Isildur, Elendil's son, then used the broken hilt of Narsil to cut The One Ring from Sauron's finger, banishing his evil shadow to the Darkness. The shards were kept in Rivendell, the house of Elrond, for safe keeping. Legend told that the sword would one day be reforged and the king would return.

The Blade that was Reforged!

The sword Anduril was reforged from the shards of Narsil for Aragorn by the elvensmiths of Rivendell.  The inscription down the length of the blade on both sides is in the Tolkien language of Quenya, writen in the runes of Eregion.

Your squire buckles the straps of your custom-fit armour, adjusting it to be comfortable and snug over your gambeson. Then you are handed your piece-de-resistance: the Norman Sword. You paid top coin for this sword, and you expect people will be impressed when they see how it shines on the battlefield.

Your blacksmith assured you that the sword’s design was both effective and awe-inspiring, and you’re one to agree. You are a mighty warrior, indeed, to be the owner of such fine craftsmanship. A fitting symbol of your godly-given status.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Norman Sword is a latex longsword with a classic fantasy appearance. The 80 cm double-edged blade has a fuller and a plain, but practical crossguard. The 20 cm handle can be used one- or two-handed, and is wrapped in split-leather to assure a comfortable and secure grip. A round pommel, handpainted like the rest of the sword, is detailed to match the crossguard.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a 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.

HISTORY

• Commonly referred to as a “broadsword,” which is actually a historically incorrect term
• Inspired by the two-handed longsword of the late medieval and Renaissance era, but with a slightly shorter blade

War is all that you know. For your clan, war is a permanent state of being. Just as you need meat to sustain you and leather armour to protect your leathery green skin, war keeps your thirst for chaos and violence sated.

Your clan now gathers to prepare for the war against the goblins. The creatures used to be your allies, but in the last battle they became cowardly and ran. Now there is nothing more to be done than to hunt down every one of them and serve them over your fire.

You begin by picking up Choppa, a sword wrought using the scavenged weapons of your enemies.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Choppa is a rugged latex sword designed as part of the Orc Universe collection, perfectly suited for warrior brutes and warlords alike. This 110 cm long sword has an 80 cm blade sculpted and handpainted to appear forged from different metals after seeing numerous battles. The crossguard is a notched to look like broken wood, protecting the rugged 20 cm handle wrapped in top-grain leather.

The Orc Choppa is a perfect match to the Orc Short Sword or the vicious Cutter. Made from durable closed cell foam around a 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 orc-inspired kit.

INSPIRATION

• Earliest references to orcs are found in Old English and Anglo-Saxon sources, such as in Beowulf and in 16th century Italian folktales
• The word itself stems from the Latin word Orcus, which was the name given to the Roman deity of the dead
• J.R.R. Tolkien’s 20th century The Lord of the Rings series describes orcs as brutish, aggressive beings with a taste for human flesh
• Tolkien’s writings influenced many role-playing games, and are now seen in such games as Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer and Warcraft

There are stories being told about you amongst the soldiers. You are the mercenary who has slain over a thousand men. You put fear in your enemies with one sweep of your weapon. Your aura of darkness freezes the hearts of anyone who looks you in the eye. And your favorite? Someone is saying you made a deal with a devil so that you may never die.

You will never tell them which might be true. Instead, as you sit just beyond the campfire and clean the blood from your Great Sword, you simply listen...and smirk.

DETAILS
