Bladesinger

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 dodge the incoming arrow, unsheathing Bladesinger in one fluid motion. The fight has begun.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's Bladesinger Sword is a long curved latex sword with extensive details inspired by the Elven Universe collection. The sword is 110 cm long with an 80 cm single-edged blade embellished with foliage-like carvings. The crossguard is sculpted to look like golden overlapped leaves, protecting the one- or two-handed 27 cm split-wrapped handle. The handle ends in a long pommel in the shape of a thorn.

The style is easily compatible with Epic Armoury's other elven range of blades, bows, armour and clothes, giving you the freedom to customize the style and gear your prospective elf needs. Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid 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 battlefield kit.
