LARP Round Shield Fyra Quadrant – 50cm Quartered Foam Shield

LARP Round Shield Fyra Quadrant – 50cm Quartered Foam Shield

Design of the Four Quadrants

This shield is made of high-quality polyurethane foam, ensuring its low weight (approx. 900 g) and durability without compromising your mobility. The unique wood grain effect and the exquisite four-quadrant pattern showcase exceptional artistic value, whether in LARP games or live performances. Two diagonally opposing quadrants feature a weathered white or light grey colour, while the other two display a natural medium brown wood tone. The central boss and the rim with rivets have the classic dark metallic look.

Symbolism of Strength and Honour

According to the creators, each of the four quadrants represents different qualities essential for warriors in battle: strength, wisdom, courage, and honour. The "Fyra Quadrant" shield is therefore not just equipment, but also a spiritual guide and a symbol of a warrior's fighting spirit. It represents the balance and complexity of a true hero.

LARP Context and Interesting Fact

Quartered shields like the Fyra Quadrant are popular in LARP not just for their historical appearance. They often serve to display two sets of colours – for example, personal and factional colours – or, as suggested by this design, for the symbolic division or combination of various character aspects, such as the virtues mentioned (strength, wisdom, courage, honour).

What Is the Shield Suitable For?

This "Fyra Quadrant" round shield is an excellent choice for:

• Characters of Viking or Nordic warriors.
• Fighters who wish to symbolise the balance of virtues (e.g., paladins, knights).
• Players who prefer smaller, lighter shields with a classic yet striking design.
• As part of a costume for performances or themed events.

Whether on the battlefield or during performances, the Fyra Quadrant shield will bring you the most epic adventure experience, allowing you to experience the profound cultural heritage and legendary stories of the Nordic culture.

Caring for Your New Shield

To ensure your Fyra Quadrant shield remains a symbol of your virtues for a long time:

1. Regular Maintenance: Wipe the shield clean of dirt after each use. To maintain the material's flexibility and protect the surface, apply a thin layer of silicone oil or spray. Spread it evenly with a soft cloth.
2. Store Correctly: Keep the shield in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
3. Avoid Deformation: Do not store the shield under heavy objects.

Safety First

• Use Only with LARP Weapons: This shield is designed and tested exclusively for use with padded LARP weapons (e.g., latex weapons, foam weapons).

• Pre-Use Check: Inspect the shield's condition before each event. If you discover any damage, it is best not to use it in combat.

With this shield, you will become a true Viking warrior, fearless and ready to face any challenge!
