Before the 12c tournement proper, the knights bacholar would ride against each other in single comnat, feats of arms, if you will.

Mandrake Mace Head

I know there was a thread on this but I can't find it.... I picked up one of the Mandrake Armoury mace heads at Pennsic. My question is, how do you attach it and not screw up it's appearance? I figure I will pick a larger piece of rattan squeeze it on and I figure I will use spray glue...Any other s...

For my Laurel Vigil in '99 Master Niall Dolphin made torches (these are illegal at Pennsic btw...for good reason!) out of dowels that were wrapped with tee shirt material and then dipped in parafin wax over and over.

Please don't think you have to have a completely period rig or a late period persona to fight in this. It's not that kind thing, tho of course, Atlantian Appearance Standards are in place. (guests or new folks to the kingdom are exempt - tho it would be REALLY nice not to see exposed plastic!!!)

We did the first one of these about a week after 9/11 with a tiny number of fighters (5 I think) we raised over $100. The way it works is that all Challengers contribute $5 which gets them five fights. Each time they win a fight, they get another fight. If they run out, they can donate more $ for mo...
