Sir Finn Marland O'Shannon will destroy that list and go on to be the greatest ruler in the history of Aethelmearc.

Wayne County!

Then, with sword and shield, why do you hold your sword with the hilt even with your shield and the blade parallel to the ground ? It takes truly monstrous forearm strength to throw an offside blow from that position with any kind of power on it. One of the things this means is that I know your ini...

The fist stump I ever used, I carved the indents in very carefully. The second I used a 4 1/2" grinder. The last, I just picked my spots and wailed on it a bit with a round hammer. They all worked. Use the hardest stump you can find, though. Right now due to location Cottonwood is what I have ...

I remember doing 2 of those and painted one green.

No. it was plain.

Agnarr

The visor and cross came out (just ok in my opinion) ran out of brass rivits for the cross so many of them are silver aluminum rivits. It is a good sturdy helm though. Small world, huh? I think it is pretty cool how people can reconize that kind of thing. I never would have guessed i would have got...

Please help me! My boyfriend wants to get into heavy fighting, but his member is just so long and huge and so sensitive I have no idea how he is ever going to fit into normal armor. Plus we have no idea how to accommodate his giant brass balls. Any tips for working around piercings appreciated. I'l...

Also, if you can tell from the pictures there is light rust on it that can be buffed out by a scotch bright pad. i'll dig it ou to night and clean it and wax it. Also, when i first got it, i took the visor off to blue the helm and didn't end up doing the visor because i like the contrasting look. th...

Is linen ok to use for a norse type cap? I have only found refrence to wool, or leather/wool on combo. I am thinking linen would be a better option. Thanks in advance!

Agnarr

I am 100% sure i would buy it.

I unfortunately do not know this gentle (Matthias de Flintbeke ) or his lady. Hails from Aventiure, longish curly blond hair, slightly short-ish. He's the guy who brought the scale suit to Garden of Earthly Delights. Does that help? Now, if you could give me a hint on Lord Hakon. I guess he's from ...

The only pain was from the incision that is still there. Have you talked t...

I use crepe. I'm guessing you don't mean crepe paper or wool crepe... I'm hoping you don't mean thin pancakes, especially since I normally have dinner *after* fighter practice. I'm afraid I'll have to plead ignorance... "Crepe? Whassat?" -Guillaume no, crepe, the stuff the use to make wea...
