What type of fur would be used for felt hats in the 14th century? I am sure wool was the most common, but were other exotic furs used as well?

He has a couple of guys in my barony with these linos, and we beat them up pretty good(the linos not his guys). The take a beating, protect well and still look good. If I wanted a greek kit I would totally have Acastus make me one.

I would like to build a wooden fence to replace my Baronial eric(could someone educate me on the proper period term) ropes. So if anyone has some cool ones that they have made or period examples that would be awesome. Preferably without staking to the ground, but you do what you can.

zippy

I talked to the autocrats and next years autocrats, and every problem that was mentioned they had a solution. If you have a complaint send an email to the autocrats. I bet they either already have a plan to fix it or would like to know any outstanding issues. As for the delay to the fighting, rapier...

zippy

still havent posted pics, more responses if you do

zippy

if you try them post some pics, so we know how good or bad they look

zippy

Hahaha sorry to laugh at you man, but once you get to know Ice and his crew. You will NEVER say that you have no fighters in your shire.

zippy

hmm what about the perf plate in the shape of a klapvisor?

zippy

I hope you have at least one set at estrella

zippy

been a long time since i have seen a ghostpig update. so...... thread necro

zippy

open ears wont stop the ringing

zippy

Honestly, only a gambeson? Any upgrade from just a gambeson will give you much better protection. Check your time period, body armor was pretty common in just about every time period. Don't go from nothing to a tank.

how many of these do you have left, the wife gets home on monday need to wait for her to make a decision if we can afford

zippy

chivalry sports might have some

zippy

I have a lady in my barony who wears a linen dress with strawberries on it, and we have plenty of dukes and duchesses who just think it is a nice dress. But you might live in an area with people a bit more stuffy than that.

zippy

Also Atenveldt will have numbers for equestrian if we look at those number in 2013. Some wonderful equestrian people have stepped up to help that program, in multiple kingdoms.

zippy

The Atenveldt one is not incorrect, we had no official expiration date on our old authorizations. It was merely updating the database. We are still catching up with many of the occasional warriors. Is we do this again for 2013 in Atenveldt we should see another significant increase.

zippy

Armour and Castings website seems a little screwy, cant link to castings.
Is it just me?

zippy

Even Southern Crusades in Atenveldt (Veterans day weekend) has hotels that are that close. Fun war come on out.
And if you make it to Estrella come say hi, I will more than likely be marshalling.

zippy

ooo awesome question Maeryk
@Karen I mean similar to Ingvarr's description

zippy

That helps with shapes and sizes of the signet itself, but I still havent seen much an the usage.

and thanks again karen

zippy

I would like a signet ring for my barony so we can do some cool sealed scrolls and missives. Anyone have a tutorial on usage and look (preferably 14th cent)? I know little on seals and would like to get this process started. Zhigmun' (this should go to the heraldry) http://www.atenveldt.org/Portals/...

zippy

and if you can't get anyone to help you with the keg, you live in the wrong kingdom

zippy

it might not be big enough for what you want, but the 50 dollar deposit on kegs it is usually worth it to keep the keg.
drink the beer and rip the top off largest and cheapest food grade container you can get

zippy
