Legend

A red sun rises. Blood has been spilled this night. Smoke columns dance like crimson snakes in the sky above the town, while embers still glow in the heart of the devastation. The pavement is a tapestry painted by violence and rage, and light reverberates with sanguine hues against its surface. It is a scene of quiet brutality, the current silence like the mute echo of yesterday’s cacophonous rampage.

Amongst the blood and carnage walks a lonely figure, taking in this vision of perfect annihilation. The red cultist moved quietly in this newly created unholy site, their red-stained armor soaking in the last droplets of tonight’s battle. This raid, this destruction, it was an offering, a well-planned sacrifice made by the sword and the axe.

Their god needed no temple, for ruins were its domain. At the center of the destroyed town throned its altar, an ephemeral totem built with the remains of the vanquished. The cultist sheeted their blade, and with their newly freed hand, they climbed the macabre pile, finally adding to its peak one last skull, its empty sockets staring at the rising dawn.

Description

These removable leather sleeves can be added under the pauldrons to give a more seamless appearance to the armor, a clever design idea we picked from our cosplay projects involving the Witcher franchise. These pieces create the illusion of some sort of gambeson worn under the armor and avoid the often stark contrast between the bulky leather armor and the wearer's bared of lightly clothed arms, a perfect compromise for LARP where heat is a common concern, but where a touch of historical realism can go a long way to improve a medieval fantasy outfit. The sleeves can also be used by themselves to cover the upper arm with supple leather without wearing rigid pauldrons over them.
