Reporting In!
« on: 2014-06-19, 21:01:12 »
Hello!

I found your website while searching around for more information on Knightly Orders. Browsed around the forum for a good amount of time, and finally decided I would like to register and participate in discussions (if you'll have me, of course.)

I am getting involved with the SCA, and have always liked...well, basically all things medieval, naturally, but always found myself gravitating around Arthurian legends and examples of Chivalric ideals. For SCA related things, I am primarily interested in both the Teutonic Knights and the Order of Saint Lazarus, and want to draw inspiration from them for garb and armor styles that I invest in.

Apart from that, I've always held myself to a higher standard than what I hold others to, and am interested in emulating better the Chivalric Ideal, both for my SCA persona and in my daily life.

Sincerely,
Vincent

Welcome to the forums!

We have several Crusade era enthusiasts here, especially some Teutonic guys.  Hopefully you choose not to go too historically accurate if you develop an Order of Saint Lazarus kit... but if you do, please make sure you're wearing a bell at all times and don't get too close to us! :)

Haha, yeah. I believe they had actually had some healthy knights in the Order as well, but obviously the leprosy bit is what they tend to be better known for. If only when losing an arm or a leg in an SCA fight I could have a prosthetic to drop...somehow, I don't think having more loose items on the field would be looked too kindly upon. A bell would make for an interesting addition, though.

I hail from the Midrealm, Barony of Brendoken, specifically the Marche of Gwyntarian. Had been wanting to get involved for years, but until now hadn't had a schedule that I could work consistently going to practice around.

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I'll be asking questions around the forum throughout today, more than likely (slow day at work), so I'll be around!  :)
