The adventuring crew that walks into your inn is covered in mud and gore, barely wiping their feet before trekking across your floors. With a sigh you greet them and offer them rooms. They want a meal, and you offer them that, too. It’s easy to dish out some cold gruel and a few loaves of bread into your Inn Keeper bowl, after all.

While adventurers do make a mess of things, they also have great coin. You make sure to charge them double the usual rate.

HISTORY

• The earliest dishes were made out of wood, and later developed into pottery

It’s been a long day trecking across the countryside, and you are famished. You and your party finally settle down to make camp and start dinner. It’s your favourite part of the journey--eating warm food thanks to a comforting fire surrounded by friends!

As the rations are passed around, you remove the Cutlery from your belt. You are always prepared for a meal, fork and knife at the ready.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Cutlery with Leather Hanger is a set of eating utensils, including a knife, spoon and two-pronged fork. Made from rough, darkened steel, each handle is uniquely wrought near the head and end to give it character and a superior grip.

This Cutlery is safe to use and perfect when you want to maintain immersion. This set includes a handy leather pouch made from top-grain leather that is stitched around the edges, preventing it from deforming with excessive use. Keep your cutlery safe by securing the pouch’s chain hook through a leather loop, keeping the lid closed. Attach the pouch to your belt, sash, or bag for ready use.

HISTORY

• A person who practices the trade of creating cutlery is called a cutler
• The word cutler is derived from the Middle English word ‘cuteler,’ which is from the Old French word ‘coutelier’ (meaning ‘knife’)
• Sets of tableware have been called cutlery since the 13th century
• Steel and pewter have always been popular materials for knives and spoons

Don't forget when you finally catch that thief to lock him up good!

... If only we sold stocks, too *whistful sigh* 

The streets are dangerous, overrun with criminals and ruffians. The only thing protecting the merchants and civilians is the Watch. You are a member of the Watch, and it is your duty to guard the regular citizens of your city.

At night you patrol the streets, your sword and a pair of Handcuffs ready. You protect the people who are not rich enough to hire their own bodyguards--it is your life’s calling to help.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Handcuffs are a set of simple looking irons for locking the wrists together. Each solid metal cuff is made from darkened mild steel, connected by a strong metal chain that can be attached to the belt using a hook. A metal crossbar is used to lock each cuff shut.

To lock the cuffs, each bar is fitted with a simple lock. When adjusted, the lock allows the crossbars to move up or down the cuff in order to release or trap hands. These Handcuffs are a perfect detail or prop to add to a guard costume.

HISTORY

• The term handcuffs is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word, handcop (that which catches the hands)
• Reference to handcuffs have appeared as early as 4th century B.C.

Want that extra level of immersion?
Have thieves but no locks that are pickable thanks to modern locks actually being really well designed?
Nuts to the 20th century. Tumblers too. Here's an old school lock for you!

You hold your knife between your teeth, keeping it accessible while your hands are busy picking a noble’s unguarded luggage. Leaving anything valuable without a guard is like an invitation to steal it...at least that’s been your experience.

With a satisfying ‘click!’ the Metal Lock comes undone and you pry the chest open to reveal--oh, yes! That will do nicely. You pocket what looks to be a sizeable purse and a few interesting looking weapons, before carefully replacing the lock and sneaking out of the tent undetected.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Lock Chest is a working, simple lock designed to secure a chest full of loot. Made from darkened mild steel, the lock consists of a solid metal arch set through a steel bar.

To use the Lock Chest, open or close it using a universal Allan-key in the lock located inside the steel crossbar. The lock is practical and simple in style and can match a variety of genres or settings. It is sized to fit anywhere a normal padlock is used.

HISTORY

• Locks have been used for at least 6 thousand years, with early versions made of wood
• The Greeks and Romans introduced iron locks during the 1st millennia B.C.

Good for picking ye olde locks.

A whole head is clearly overkill and frankly, just creepy.
Everyone knows that normal battlefield trophies are a perfectly acceptable ear hung around the neck in a garrish fashion.

The humans are short lived and greedy creatures, like lice infecting the world with their disease-ridden numbers. That’s why you kill every human you ever come across.

You keep a collection of human ears, hung from leather around your neck. You want those lousy men to fear you and your ferocious might. Wearing your Human Trophy Ear around your neck has caused quite a commotion in the human ranks.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Human Trophy Ear is a gruesome latex accessory designed to look like the round ear of a humanoid foe. Made from 100% natural latex and stuffed with cotton to give it mass and texture, this ear adornment can be hung as a talisman from a belt or neck using its leather cord. It is sure to create fear--and hatred--in the hearts of your enemies.

The Human Trophy Ear is sculpted and handpainted to appear as if it has been cut off from flesh. Thickened, rough edges along the base look like clots of blood coagulated from the wound. This trophy ear is skin-coloured with shaded creases. It can be carefully dry-brushed or customized using Epic Effects Makeup.

HISTORY

• Similar in use to the historical practice of human trophy collecting
• Remains of the deceased were collected to demonstrate dominance or to commemorate
