Feelin' Good

Duke Alan put a challenge out on the Aerie for everyone to try and improve one part of their kit before Uprising. Actually, he put out the challenge to everyone by one group: the rapier community. He told us to keep doing what we've been doing.

Way to go!

This shows that we have developed a reputation for having a consistent period appearance that goes above and beyond the norm. That, my friends is no small feat. Of course, it also shows the deviousness of Duke Alan. It means we have to keep up with our reputation. We have to stay above the curve, no matter which way that curve shifts. If the kingdom begins to drift away from a period appearance, we get to rest on our laurels a bit, but if a majority of people meet the good duke's challenge, then we have to work that much harder to keep our reputation untarnished.

In short, we're doing a great job with our appearance, so let's keep working at it so we don't lose our reputation as the best looking group in Artemisia.
