Elven Head Band

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.

INSPIRATION

• Originally a creation of Germanic mythology and folklore
• Has been considered to be a magical creature with supernatural beauty, but this definition has varied throughout history
• J.R.R. Tolkien’s 20th century writings on the “Middle Earth Elf” has influenced how elves are seen today in the high-fantasy genre

Hedgerow is an never ending maze within the fae realms, twisting and turning and leading the unsuspecting to the unknown. The hedges themselves are beautiful, however, as many dangerous things are.

You are native to these lands and so you do not have fear, but you are still careful not to damage the shrubbery with your Royal Elf Sword while traversing the maze. It is never wise for even a Fae Lord to threaten that which has a mind of its own.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Royal Elf Sword is a latex-hybrid medium weapon with incredibly realistic details inspired by the high-fantasy Ethereal Universe. The sword has a double-edged latex blade inspired by the slashing-effective leaf shape. The crossguard and handle is made of polyurethane, shaped and painted to look like carved gold and silver metal with a wooden core and red gem embellishment.

The style is easily compatible with Epic Armoury's other Ethereal range of blades, bows, armour and clothes, giving you the freedom to customize the style and gear for your prospective elven needs. 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. This hybrid model sword will give you confidence in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield.

Available in sizes 100 cm, 85 cm, and 60 cm.

The elven army is an incredibly dangerous one, as its members have all trained longer than most mortals have been alive. You are a member of such army. Dressed in matching armour, you stand at attention with your nearly identical kindred, your Long Elf Axe standing at your side in a row.

There is no fear on your face as your Lord sits upon his stag and surveys the orcs before you. The orcs gather in their chaos, their numbers far out matching your own. But still you do not fear, for every elf is worth at least ten of the enemy.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Long Elf Axe is a deadly 147 cm two-handed axe designed for swift elven hands against the worst orc shield-walls and battle formations. It has a 55 cm axe-blade with a long, curved beard which has been hand painted to look like real metal. The head is actually made of soft foam, reinforced with a harder foam core. It attaches to the beautiful golden wood textured shaft which is hand painted and sculpted to look like real wood grain.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, your new LARP long axe will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your ethereal kit.

HISTORY

• The first hafted axe was created about 6,000 B.C. using birch-tar and raw-hide lashings to fix the blade to its handle
• Many battle axes doubled as tools and were cheaper to make than swords

While your adventuring party may not agree with your code, you will not be disheartened. The tenants of your faith have fortified you into the person you are: a noble warrior, pure of heart and a representative of justice. So, when your party wants to kill the bandit you’ve apprehended, you stand as a protector over your prisoner with Angelic Sword at the ready.

Whether they agree with you or not, the right thing to do is to take the bandit to the proper authorities. They may be miles away in the nearest town, but you will not give in to your party’s murderous tendencies.

DETAILS

The Angelic Sword Hybrid is a medium sword inspired by the epic tales of clerics and paladins. The sword is 76 cm long and has a 57 cm double-edged blade with a central ridge. The detailed handle--with its winged crossguard and ‘scent stopper’ pommel--features a handpainted finish that looks like aged gold. The 11 cm grip is cast and painted to look like wood and is ergonomically shaped, allowing for comfort and an impressive appearance.

 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. This hybrid model sword will make you confident in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield.

INSPIRATION

• The winged crossguard was inspired by an angel’s wings--something a crusader, paladin or cleric might use
• Paladins are considered holy knights, dedicated to their deity and following a strict code of conduct according to their god’s tenants
• The term ‘angel’ can be used to describe a person who is good, pure, and selfless

The finest closed cel foam weapons on the battlefield!

Made from the hides of those that thought they could hide in The Woods, the Elven Buckler is the ideal defence against foolish mortals.

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.”

As you hear the ‘thwap!’ of an archer’s bow, you spin and catch the incoming arrow with your Elven Buckler in one fluid motion. The fight has begun.

DETAILS

This bestselling Epic Armoury Elven Buckler is a small leather covered shield worn around the wearer’s arm, inspired by a naturalistic elven society.

The buckler goes well with Epic Armoury’s Elven range of products. However, its naturalistic design can be used by a wide range of characters. With its unique detailing and natural look, make this Elven Buckler a central piece when crafting your character’s kit.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Elven Ears are prosthetic ears molded in a classic pointed shape, a common sigil of the mythological elf. These latex ears add 4 cm to the human ear at the helix, and are as smooth and elegant as an elven ear should be. The ears are modelled to cover and form-fit over the outer ear, allowing for plenty of surface area in which to securely and safely glue the latex to the wearer’s skin. Application of this prosthetic is easy using Epic Effect Prosthetic Power Glue, Mastix Spirit Gum or other prosthetic adhesive.

The Package contains instructions in English.

The ears are great for adding a sense of style or mysticism, whether it be an exotic noble or a mysterious creature of grace. The ears are easy to customize to match any style you want by painting them using Epic Effects Make-Up. Slant them during application at any angle you prefer to get your own unique look.

Available in Small and Medium/Large.

Guideline for ear-size: if at the widest point of you ear your ear is under 3.5cm, select the small size. Over 3.5cm, select the large size.
