I took the list and sorted it by belts/unbelts and linked photos to it. http://wiki.caid-commons.org/index.php/Summer_Crown_2009 Duchess Kolfinna is still coming off of her back injury. This isn't her crown but give her time. Yep, only my second tournament back from a 2.5 year injury lay off. I'm ve...

Dirk is not listed as having been squired to Ivan here , and I'm pretty sure Ed didn't start training with Dirk until after he was knighted. This is a good list, but in-accurate. My knight ,Sir Brut von Koln,who is now inactive is listed under Basil von Koln. He was first squired to Sir Aethlered t...

http://swordmaiden.com/history/beginning/ Written by: Eichling von Amrum At the original birthday party and early tournaments, there was no issue about whether women could participate in the fighting.

You're going to submit by the next meeting right? Up and coming squires should have their heraldry passed, I'm just sayin'. I can help if you need

He has a back injury right now and is Seneschal of Lyondemere... though those are only guesses, I don't know for sure.

Took a little longer than I had wanted to get this out, but it's a super new thing in Caid to publish this list. Enjoy. *** Unto the populace of Caid do Sven and Kolfinna, King and Queen of Caid, send greetings, We are proud to announce the following entrants for Our Crown tournament taking place th...

True... but we are going to try and publish the list this Crown, just working out some last minute details. No promises, but it's our goal.

Here's something I have finally accepted after 25 years of kicking and screaming. I'm a fighter. I'm a woman. No matter what, people look at me and see a female fighter. No matter what I try or do -- that's all I can be. Gender is a huge part of how people see other people. What I want to be -- a f...

I have not found a function in Library Thing that will allow me to track books that I have lent out. Is there one? It would certainly make it a more robust tool, and one that I would be willing to pay for. I just add that to the comments section of any of the books I lend out. However if you want t...

I've always heard that, too - Caidans are the best-dressed. Of course, I think Atlantia does a pretty darn good job, too. I don't know that all kingdoms are equal on style these days, but it's been a couple years since I've been to an inter-kingdom event besides Pennsic (or Crusades). I think that ...

Winterfell wrote:Isn't Caid the one whose sheildmen ordered pizza and had it delivered during a battle and then sat behind their sheild eating, while looking at the enemy? Or was it ice cream?

I don't know if it was Caid that did that, but what an awesome idea

Kottr

I was wondering if people could share their impressions, opinion and give their own advice about how we should step into the lives of being Caidan warriors. Best thing to do is show up and fight! That simple. Show up, fight, be willing to learn, be chivalrous, be honest, be nice and people will go ...

I agree with Alaric, #3 on your list is probably Duke Dirk's book. Last time I talked to him/his brother about it, he wasn't selling it any more. You'll have to find an old copy of that one.

Called him up, he put a check in the mail yesterday. So hopefully it should come up soon.

actually it had come back up, it must have got suspended again. I gave luther a call, he should re-up his contract.

I really like Linen. It breathes nicely and doesn't tear like cotton does. Linen when it takes abuse just makes little holes that amuse themselves happily, unlike cotton where you'll get a (notso) cool vertical slash down the front of your outfit. The first time I wore linen pants when fighting I th...

What were your initial goals? To hit people with sticks, it seemed like so much fun. Was it to become a Squire, Knight, King/Queen? My goal pretty early on, and still is, is to become a crown contender level fighter. Not actually being queen or being a duchess, but to be respected enough of a fight...

Just make it like you would a normal coat of plates, consider her bust size as the chest size. It will gap a bit around the waist, but it won't bother her.

how many female knights are there in Caid? Assuming you are in Caid since I see you are in California. Just me. Lady Eichling was offered the belt, but she turned it down.
