There need not be any real change in our designs, only in our means."

Our new members consist of dedicated volunteers, weary of the shallow world and want to make it a better place by using the rod. We offer our protection, favor, and status to all its recruits, and promises opportunities for honor and glory. No recruit is ever required to serve, but it reflects well upon the individual to be there for their fellows in arms. We start all new recruits off with a few simple lessons, with loaner weapons and garb. Once we feel you are competent with the basic movements we encourage members to make garb and weapons. Never fear, we have frequent build nights for weapons and garb. At least one per month; more when needed.
