Greetings and Well Met
« on: 2013-06-03, 15:21:44 »
Hello everyone! New here, obviously. I met a few of the knights this weekend at VARF, and expressed an interest in being a knight. I know a little bit about medieval fighting but I have a keen interest in learning more about it, and the practice of it.

Thanks!

Lady Riona, if this is the same lass we spoke w/at length on Sunday, well met indeed!  If not, greetings and well met nonetheless.
