i like the flat blade idea. have not seen it much in trimaris,with few out of kingdom additions. i have a fat heavy piece of rattan that i am considering of shaving to flat sides. do the flat sides really make a difference in impact a monouverability?

I to am 6'4 long and lean I fight with a 24" round and love it for its mobility. The round sheild forces you to become more mobile ore you lose your legs alot. try other shaps and sizes for the best complement to body type and strength.


I shal crush the world under the steel shoe or my war horse.

Dear otto
My dear mother is a merchant at pennsic war and she bought a really good tent through panther pavillions. I do not know if the company has a web site or not. They have a catalog and many styles and sizes.
Good hunting

horse armour

I am starting a four year old percheron gelding under saddle and would like to make some show armour for him. He is about 18 hands, need to find patterns for face plate neck and chest for horses. I am in trimaris for reference on location.
