Frying Pan

Do you even have the skillet to use this?

Don't be the only thing at your LARP that is pan anymore. This frying pan makes a bullet proof* addition to your LARP kit as an improvisational chef's weapon, or a handy buckler for a post apocalyptic / ethnic mother based LARP.

*not actually bullet proof. 

Your House waits for sleep to take your rivals before making an advance on their fortress. While the element of surprise will give you an advantage, forcing the rival house to fall will still require a bloody battle this night.

You are one of your family’s best fighters, and you lead your small army of slaves and allies with your Wing Shield and sword in hand.

Your Knight’s Code is one of valor, truth, and courage. You are tasked with defending the innocent and the weak, and today your oath is being tested. Outside of town there has been a bandit attack on a merchant and his family, and it’s up to you to rescue them.

Your squire straps your Knight Shield tight onto your arm over the weight of your chainmail, and with a prayer to your God you and your small unit strike out onto the road. The sword upon your shield is a reminder that you are a weapon of justice.

Criminals be warned.

Intimidation. It’s your main form of weaponry while facing the heroes, because it gives you full control. When your enemies fear you, they are more likely to make fatal mistakes. As a battle necromancer, your Imperial Shield serves as a focus in order to cast the most formidable spells. Your fingers wrap tightly around the shield’s handle, and the skull on its face grows hot as it fills with potent magic.

The Imperial Shield gives you the ability to wield more power, weaving together complex spells beyond your normal grasp. With the help of this focus, you are victorious--even over death.

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 your Ork Waanaz Shield.

DETAILS

Square shaped, it is 80 cm wide and tall.

Wear this Ork Waanaz Shield left-handed with the use of two leather arm straps on the back, secured through hard EVA foam for a reliable and solid grip made to last. Feel confident that this latex shield will withstand the continued abuse of a LARP with regular latex maintenance.

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
