Elven Ears - Long

Finally, some proper cosplay sized ears from Epic Armoury!

Your elven ears hear the rustle of footsteps behind you. A smile crosses your delicate lips as you realize a stranger is attempting to sneak up on someone as lithe and alert as you. 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.”

Again your elven ears pick up the faintest noise, and as you hear the ‘thwap!’ of an archer’s bow, you spin and deflect the incoming arrow with your Lorian Glaive. It appears some lesser creature is about to receive an important lesson about attacking an elf as powerful as you.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Lorian Glaive is a 195 cm latex polearm specifically designed as part of the Elven Universe. The Lorian Glaive has a long, single-edged curved blade fitted to a pole, and was inspired by historical glaives with an elegant touch. Handpainted and sculpted, the 90 cm blade is detailed with vine-like carvings, matching the golden foliage and the thorn shaped crossguard and pommel. The haft is 95 cm long and wrapped in soft brown split-leather for a secure and comfortable grip.

The Lorian Glaive is designed to pair with Epic Armoury’s other Elven Universe weaponry and costuming, but can be mixed and matched to suit your needs. 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.

INSPIRATION

• Lorian is a English girl name that refers to the laurel tree, which is symbolic of honor and victory
• Elves were originally a creation of Germanic mythology and folklore
• Lean and elegant style of blade inspired by high-fantasy genre games such as Dungeons & Dragons and J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings series

When you want something done, you only have to point and speak your command. “Go, servant, fetch me water!” you say. “Dispatch these rogues,” you bark.

Dressed in your Edrahil Cape, you have a particularly influential appearance, the fabric flowing behind you as you stroll through the castle grounds. It’s good to be a noble, isn’t it?

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dark Brown/Dryad Green Cape Edrahil is a knee-length cape with a brown high collar and green pleated fabric. The design is meant to serve as a fashion accessory, a top layer of style that gives structure to the shoulders and an air of authority. Made from cotton and cut to include extra billowing fabric pleated at the shoulders, this cape features an open front so that your hands are left unimpeded while fighting--or ordering your guards to fight for you. Its high-ranking appearance makes for a great accessory for a variety of Renaissance or fantasy costumes, especially nobility or officers.

The Cape Edrahil is a powerful cut with longer sides. Secure the cape by overlapping the collar in front of the neck and tying its leather ties through the top leather patch.

HISTORY

• One of the oldest garments known to humanity
• Common fashion in medieval Europe

HOODLUM OR HERO?

As an outlaw with your face on the wanted posters you cannot afford to be recognized; the price you pay if you get caught is simply too high. No matter if your lawless deeds are perceived to be of rightful reasons or of a more dubious motive, a hood will help you, when you must stay faceless. It is the perfect finishing touch when crafting your LARP-kit for your heroic woodsman or your cunning thief!

Epic Armoury’s Hood Adventurer is a hood with a short mantle and long hood tail. The mantle covers the shoulders, keeping the upper chest covered, while the roomy hood can be pulled down to cover part of the face. Made of a rougher fabric than our Basic Hood, this hood provides protection from the elements without being too warm in potential heat.

Wear this hood by simply slipping it over your head--it’s easy and comfortable. Hoods are great garments for rounding off your look, and the Hood Adventurer is a traditional layer that fits a wide variety of character types.

Affordable and interchangeable with all other Epic Armoury gear this garment allows you to personalize your own costume.

HISTORY

• One of the oldest garments known to humanity

Suck it, regular elves. You wish your belt bag was this fancy!

Elves are pretty... but are they shiny?
They can be now!

This pair of elven ear jewlery can be worn over your boring, old, vanilla, human ears, or can be used in conjunction with short to medium sized elven ears of varying shapes and cut backs.

Safely attach prosthetics to your face and skin.

Epic Effects Mastix Spirit Gum is a non-toxic adhesive for applying latex prosthetics and hair to skin. The gum is almost invisible once dried, improving the look of prosthetics. Mastix Spirit Gum is safe to use on children, but should be kept out of reach and applied only with adult supervision. The glue comes in a 12 ml bottle with screw-on lid. Inside the lid, the bottle is suited with a tiny brush helping the user apply the glue effectively.

Directions for use:

• Clean the skin and the prosthetic with Mastix Spirit Gum Remover.
• Apply a thin layer of glue to your prosthetic with an applicator. Let it dry completely until clear and repeat with a second layer.\
• Apply the prosthetic in the desired position and hold in place for ten seconds.

Removal:

Gently peel the prosthetic away from the skin starting at one corner, using the Mastix Spirit Gum Remover to dissolve the glue and to clean the skin. Then clean your skin and the prosthetic with mild soap and warm water.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Epic Effect Mastix Spirit Gum should not be used around the eyes or on mucous membranes like the lips, eyelids or on private areas. Keep away from open flames, as this product is highly flammable.

A dainty crown upon thy head

Your prey is almost within range, tentative as she catches a whiff of something in the air. You have covered yourself in the dirt of the forest and smell more like pine than person, but the deer still seems uncertain.

She steps forward and you pull back the string on your loaded bow, peering down at her from beneath the leather of your Elven Head Band. This deer will feed you for the rest of the week, so you are careful as you take aim. You mustn’t miss your target if you are to eat.

With a sharp ‘thwap!’ your arrow hits its mark, clean and perfect. A painless end to a noble creature...and your dinner.

DETAILS

This bestselling Epic Armoury Elven Head Band is a slim decorative piece of head armour with a distinct elven feel. The headband is made from vegetable-tanned leather and fitted with an adjustable leather brace at the back. At the forehead, the headband is decorated with a flat leaf-shaped leather patch that rises over the forehead and stretches down to cover the bridge of the nose. At the temples it is fitted with cheek-pads closely covering the cheek and chin-bones, hovering a few centimetres before the mouth.

The Elven Head Band is clearly elven in style, but is compatible with other Epic Armoury leather products, allowing almost any character to round off their look with this stylish accessory.

One size fits all.

And yes we know that's an Orcish racial slur we used, you pathetic mayflies.

In the dangerous tunnels of your home beneath ground, staying alive requires keeping all your senses on high alert. Your Dark Elf Ears are trained to pick up even the faintest of sounds in the darkness, your hands ready with your weapon should you need to defend yourself from some beast or being.

So, when you hear the silvery tongue call out to you, “Hello, friend,” you are not so quick to let down your guard. While the other dark elf approaching you is an old acquaintance, you also heard the crossbow bolt being slid into place--now hidden behind her back.

• 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

As one of the small folk, you often go by unnoticed. Townspeople consider you to be nothing more than a child, and so you easily slip past guards and weave through crowds. Perhaps if someone were to take a more careful look at your appearance--catching your Halfling Ears and the proportions of your adult body--they might know better.

But the silly humans do not pay attention, and that can often be used to your benefit. Pickpocketing is so much easier when no one sees you doing it.
