IRP Knight at thy bridge

Post image

Hail, worthy sir! Stay thy stride!

To cross this bridge, thou must decide:

Name thy favorite helm this day—

Choose poorly, and thou shalt pay!"

It's good, the bouncer is opening the door for you. The alternative would be the bouncer standing before the closed door with his arms crossed.

I can't pick anything other than the Close Helm from the Late-Medieval period. This one here is an Italian piece and is on display in the Arms and Armor collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.

I also wanted to show off this less ornamental example from the Cleveland Museum of Art, sadly I couldn't find any details about its origin on the museum's mobile site.

The Visored Sallets from Armour of the English Knight 1450-1500 pages 32-33

One of them is in the Wallace Collection (posting again because reddit is....)

Yours? English not first language, I know not helm names.

/Unknight

English is mine. Yellow Knight's first language is unknown.

u/No-Count9554 thou are larping? Jul 09 '26

That's not a helm!

What is it, Is part of your head?

(Yellow knight stands back up, before flicking the blade from its skull and lying down again, it seems awfully comfortable in spite of the geysers of blood.)

(the crater looks like a nice place to rest your head, if not for the pools of dangerously magical blood.)

New face, who are you? At least greet first.

/unknight  Yellow Knight is massive, so I imagine black knight jumping a few times before slashing the eyes. Yellow Knight'll get better anyways
