Dark Elven War Axe

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 Dark Elven War Axe in hand.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dark Elven War Axe is a latex axe designed as part of the Dark Elven Universe collection. The Dark Elven Axe is 100 cm long with a large, spiked axe-head. The 32 cm long axe-head is crescent shaped and serrated, and designed to appear claw or bone like. The 45 cm haft is finished to look like dark wood, adding to the weapon’s grim appearance.

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

• 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
• Dark elves were first mentioned in Norse mythology as the Dökkálfar or Svartálfar written in the Prose Edda in the 13th century
