Never go into battle before first tasting your favorite ale. That is the advice you would give any of your fellow Dwarves, for you never know when this may be your last fight.

You slam your Dwarf Single Edge sword onto the table as you await the finest dark ale you know. The tavern was quiet before you walked inside, tense with the anticipation of a coming war, but you are loud and bring life back to its walls. You raise a toast to the barkeep and to any nearby, granting them glory on the battlefield before drinking deeply from your mug.

It would be a true shame to leave this world while thirsty.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dwarf Single Edge is a latex-hybrid single-edged sword with a detailed handle. The sword is 105 cm long and has a 83 cm straight blade inspired by weapons of the mythological dwarven race. The intricate crossguard connects the interesting blade to the 10 cm handle cast and painted to look like real wood with metal embellishments.

Whether you are a dwarven soldier or simple miner, this Dwarf Single Edge sword is our highest quality gear due to its impressive durability and detail. The blade is made from closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that allows for greater detail and no maintenance.

INSPIRATION

• Inspired by Dwarves, a German mythological creature that dwells deep in the earth
• Dwarves are associated with wisdom, smithing, mining, and crafting
• The modern term dwarf descends from the Old English word dweorg
• A fuller, or the groove that runs the length of the blade, was added to weapons to lighten the blade while adding structural strength

Many years ago, a young girl who believed in Fairies, watched out her window as rainbow lights twirled and flickered out in the fields near her home. She ran outside to get a closer look. As she reached the field the lights flickered out before her eyes. Upon the field where she found herself standing alone in the night, there was a ring of mushrooms. Within that ring was a skin with markings on it and a beautiful silken bag. In that bag were twelve carved stones, each with its own rune and shape.As the girl marveled at these items a voice like twinkling bells came from the air around her. "These runestones are for you and the others who still believe in us. They will help guide you on your journey through life. Use them wisely. Now child, this is who the runes represent, what they mean and how you may use them...
