Hello everyone.
I’m so excited to make the official announcement that our latest Rhiassa Tubes (sword foam) shipment has been delivered from our oversees manufacturer and is ready to be distributed to the Realms!
For those of you who have not been in the loop up until now, the most noteworthy aspect of this new shipment is the Rhiassa Tube WB, made from the same foam material was the regular round Rhiassa Tube W, has the profile shape of a sword blade and will allow for the rapid and easy construction of more swordy-looking swords!

The Rhiassa Tube WB, with a 1/2" inner diameter for core and a hexagonal blade shape. At it's thinnest wall thickness it meets the 5/8" safety minimum. |
Many of you pre-ordered the Rhiassa Tube WB or more of the original Rhiassa Tube W. I will be bringing your orders to the following two events this coming month:
- Tournaments of Artemis XII (June 7)
- The Gilded Lion and Silver Branch Summer Festival IV (June 21)
If you cannot be at either of these events we can arrange for you to come pick them up at my house on another day.
Also at those two events I will be selling the extra stock I have of both kinds of foam for cash only, a necessity because I invested the money necessary to reach the minimum order levels to make this shipment possible.
- Rhiassa Tube W (round foam) will cost $5 each or $20 for 5 of them.
- Rhiassa Tube WB (blade shape foam) will cost $6 each or $20 for 4 of them.
Since the money I invested to make this order happen was from the account that funds Rhiassa events, selling the extra stock of foam would be really beneficial to helping to restock that account. Therefore, I will thank The Realms in advance for your patronage and hope that you will visit the Gilded Lion Ironworks shop counter at both of those events.

Thank you everyone for your help in making this project come to fruition. I am incredibly optimistic about how this new foam shape might make a tremendous impact on what weapons can look like in our game.
In service,
