The elves are going to war against the dwarves, and as a frontline fighter you are expected to carry a shield with your city’s heraldry. You are a proud people, and as such your uniform and weaponry are in prime condition.
Carrying your white Elf Shield into battle, it will be up to you to defend your expert archers from the brutish attacks of the dwarves. They are inelegant and clumsy, and you intend to keep them back easily with some clever maneuvering.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s White Elf Shield is a large 120 cm long shield inspired by historical kite and tower shields, but given an elven flair. A hand painted white field on the shield provides great contrast to the black and green winged heraldry. The rim is detailed to look like smooth black wood, curved and elegant to match the elves’ natural grace.
Wear this Elf Shield vertically, horizontally, or diagonally with the use of a versatile T-grip 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.
