Revision as of 02:11, 17 June 2008
Clan of the Hydra is a unit that began as a realm based in Madison, Wisconsin. Oktoberfest 2004 was their first inter-realm event. During the summer of 2005, they participated in the Chicago-area mini-events, which included hosting their first event in August with an estimated attendance of 90 fighters.
In spring of 2005, Clan of the Hydra joined The Iron Crown and reorganized as a national unit. The realm in Madison where it all began was renamed Rhûn. This decision was undertaken for the following reasons:
- The way that Clan of the Hydra is currently organized, with ranks and such, it functions more as a unit.
- People fighting in Madison will not automatically have to put on the green tabard and fight for the Hydra. They may join any unit they wish.
- This will allow members of Clan of the Hydra to stay Hydra after they move away from Madison or WI. Additionally, CotH will be able to recruit Hydra from outside of Madison.
- In the future, other chapters of Hydra may form outside of where the main Hydra leadership resides.
- Clan of the Hydra is not so much a place as a group.
Clan of the Hydra focuses heavily on group tactics over individual fighting skill and trains heavily with support weaponry such as bows, spears, and glaives.This is by no means an entrance requirement, as of late, Hydra has been shifting to encompass all fighting styles. Many are sword and board fighters, along with Kenjii who fights with a red sword, Peregrine and Kyrian who've been known to rock a florentine set or two, and others who fulfill the traditional Hydra roles as line support fighters- like Chicken, Corosis, Porthos, and others.
Clan of the Hydra can be summed up in one word: humble (at least according to Big Jimmy). We're not the type of unit to wander obscenely drunk from camp to camp causing problems. We help each other, we help out events, we can hang out with each other socially. We earn respect through virtue.
Not to mention, we got Bo and Bo is....well....Bomatic. It's AHMYZING!
