Pictures or it didn't happen! If you do happen to dig some up then that will be good enough for me but I think
Prior knights joining the order should traverse through a gauntlet of order members to reach the KC and make his oath of fealty...warhammers are optional ;)

"Coeur de Leon" I think is what it was called.

I guess we can leave that up to people that are already knights. If they want the ceremony, we can give it. And if not, we can just give them the certificate when we've chosen them to be knights within the Order (same sponsorship and requirements rules apply, it's just an optional ceremony at that point). --- thoughts?

Actually, it was I who said that.  However, Sir Brian's suggestion of running the gauntlet is a good one...and a good way to welcome in a new brother Knight (who is already a knight).

Yes, pics...or I'll believe it happened but THEY won't.  lol

What's that?  No ceremony- no knighting!   >:(

Yes, completely optional. They could use poleaxes, halberds, or longswords instead. :)

I say we keep it to mailed gauntlets and clubs and hammers- it wouldn't do to draw blood but we do want them to FEEL it.

Until pics of that dwarven armor is produced, I refuse to believe anything without pics. :D

That seems reasonable to me, since we'll have to make accommodations for members who aren't within reasonable distance for a ceremony, anyway.

Except for Sir Wolf. He has to be knighted. And I'll go so far as to say, in his dwarven armor.

Hmm you seem to be a bit tall for a dwarf, perhaps you were of the mountain dwarf variety? Also a youngling dwarf at that considering you had barely begun growing your beard!  ;)
