Soulrend – Modular LARP Voulge Polearm System
Safety, Balance, and Engineering
The head of the Soulrend is crafted from high-quality, durable polyurethane, featuring a high-security flex tip to ensure safety during thrusts and reduce impact pain. The weapon’s core is a sophisticated fiberglass rod—thinner in the head for flexibility and thicker/tapered in the pole for superior balance and structural integrity. Every connection is secured with 304 stainless steel screws, ensuring that your polearm remains rigid and dependable even in the heat of a chaotic skirmish. It feels balanced in your hands, providing the control needed for precise strikes.

Historical Inspiration: The Voulge
The Voulge was a devastating polearm used by European infantry during the late Middle Ages. It combined a heavy axe blade with a pointed tip, allowing it to hack through armour and deliver lethal thrusts. The distinct hook on the back, recreated in the Soulrend design, was historically used to hook the gaps in a knight's plate armour or to pull riders from their mounts. It was the weapon of choice for many peasant levies who needed a simple but effective tool to stand against the might of the nobility's cavalry.
Care and Maintenance Instructions
To keep your Soulrend in prime condition for your next adventure, follow these simple steps:
- Clean the polyurethane head with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and sweat.
- Ensure the stainless steel threads are clean before assembly. A tiny drop of silicone oil on the threads can keep the connection smooth.
- Never store the weapon resting on its tip. This can cause the foam to permanently deform. Store it flat or disassembled.
- Keep the weapon away from extreme heat (e.g., direct sunlight in a car for extended periods) to maintain the material's durability.
- This is a LARP weapon. Do not strike it against hard surfaces like stone or trees, as this may fracture the internal fiberglass core.
Recommended Accessories
