Do you know what type of men you will have to fight?
We who dine on sharpened swords and drink down blazing torches as our wine. Then for dessert they bring us broken arrows and splintered pike shafts. Our pillows are shields and breastplates, and beside our feet lie bows and slings. We crown ourselves with catapult wreaths.

My really big hobby is the Society for Creative Anachronism. The what?! It's a educational group dedicated to recreating life in the Middle Ages and Rennaissance c. 450 C.E. to 1600 C.E. There are SCA groups worldwide, but the largest are in the US and Canada. For a really good intro to the SCA click here. |

ARMS AND ARMOUR |
|
|
|
You can blame J.R.R. Tolkien and Robert E. Howard for my obsession with weapons and armour. Ever since I read about fell swords, mithril mail, brazen scales and gold chased plate. I've been fascinated by armour and weapons in all thier forms. Just by looking at my hobbies you could probably figure that out ;-) |
