"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Greeting from Chicago
« on: 2014-01-31, 00:48:25 »
Hail and well met, this is Rick from the Chicagoland area. I have been a fan of knight since I was a small boy. My dad was watching Ivanhoe and I looked at the screen and was hooked. Im looking to put some armor together to represent at Bristol ren faire this summer and possibly (if Im lucky) to join the Order of the Marshal. I try my best to lead a Chivalric lifestyle..Im partial to the Old Code from Dragonheart.
