After War of the Wings IV, or, rather, AT War of the Wings IV, somewhere between the fighting and the drunkeness during court, I offered to be RMiC for War of the Wings V. Raphael, as Rapier Guru of Sacred Stone, is usually responsible for finding this victim, and so I let him know he […]

Pennsic Woods and Plateau 3 comments
Gawin here again to finish up the postings about the Pennsic melee battles. Woods Battle: After winning the town battle on Monday, Atlantia lined up with the East and allies Tuesday to take part in the Woods battle. The new woods are fairly thick with lots of poison ivy (that I still have) and is […]
Town battle 8 comments
The objective in the town battle was to hold 3 flags that formed a line across the middle of a symmetric field between the two armies. The flag on our left was placed on a bridge extending from the castle entranceway with a path towards it on either side. The flag in the middle was […]
Pennsic 39 Leave a comment
Since Wistric was unable to be at Pennsic this year, he asked me to write about the battles. First, a general overview: The Windmasters’ group included Letia, Calli, and myself and we were placed under the command of Raphael as part of the southern regional unit. Our unit included the fighters from Black Diamond (Michael […]
Congratulations! 1 comment
Practice was canceled this week, so there’s nothing to talk about, except… Congratulations, Gawin, on winning the first tournament of Pennsic!
Drums of War 1 comment
Saturday, Letia and I trekked out to Elchinburg Castle for Drums of War. For a small event, it was pleasantly surprising, especially in the larger-than-expected turnout (predicted 14, got about 20). A number of Windies made the drive over, including a couple from Attillium, Philippo and Adelric, and Gawin, Adam, and Percy, and a couple […]
Gawin’s Drums of War Leave a comment
Wistric asked me to write up some of my thoughts about Drums of War this past weekend, and so this post is going to be from the perspective of a fairly new fighter. I’ve been learning this whole fencing thing from Wistric since early October and DoW was my 5th melee event. Let me start […]
June University 1 comment
Roz, She Who Must Be Obeyed, and I drove up to Tir-Y-Don this past weekend for the June session of the Atlantian University. Usually not a big fighting event, but when I read the course descriptions two weeks back, I knew I needed to go. Cut and Thrust Marshalling 101 and Practicum The C&T MiT […]
Sapphire Joust 2010 13 comments
Sapphire Joust promised to be interesting. What with the whole rebuilding my fight, again, in the past three months, I wasn’t actually sure how well it would go off, but was fairly confident I’d be able to do well in the tourney. I went in with an intentional range disadvantage: I didn’t trust the forty’s […]
Tourney of Friends 7 comments
We had our baronial spring event this weekend, which was melee-centric, and therefore more than deserving of discussion here. Something about a theme to this blog matching up with, you know, rapier melees. But first, practice! Thursday Thursday was the first time I’d picked up a sword in two weeks. Goddamn work. Damn it to […]
