The Trollball sword Athena is the result of an expert collaboration of over 20 years between two major players in live-action role-playing (LARP) in Quebec: Les Ateliers Nemesis and Calimacil. Specifically designed for combat sports in LARP, this weapon skillfully combines performance, safety, and durability, making it an ideal choice for Trollball, rapier tournaments, and supervised combat sports.
The round guard, called a quillon, benefits from an advanced molding process developed by Calimacil. This shape effectively protects the hand while offering a significant colored surface, customizable to represent your team or guild. The guard is paired with a thin thermoformed, water-repellent memory foam blade, manufactured in Nemesis' workshops, mounted on a flexible and robust carbon tube. The result is a light, flexible, and very comfortable sword to wield, with an optimized balance point to facilitate fast and precise sequences.
The quillon is available in several colors and can be customized upon request, whether to display your team's colors or engrave your guild's logo. The Athena comes in two versions: a latex-coated version, which is stiffer and more durable, ideal for intensive use, and a latex-free version, which is lighter and more economical, perfectly suited for Trollball and rapier combat.
This sword has been approved by the Bicolline organization and game committee, ensuring that it meets current safety standards. However, it is still advisable to verify that the sword also complies with the specific standards of your event or game league.
The Athena Trollball sword is intended for players who wish to improve their performance in medieval combat sports without compromising the style and visual identity of their character.
