Yeah that's be, born.
Literally just me
Viking-age living history · Piedmont North Carolina
Bring a shield. We'll teach the rest.
We train in period combat, build our own kit by hand, and take the whole camp on the road to festivals, schools, and fairs. Most of us walked in knowing nothing.

Who we are
A club, not a cast
Knights of Myth started with six people, a stack of plywood, and a standing Thursday booking at a public park. We are teachers, nurses, welders, students, and retirees. What we share is an interest in how people actually lived, fought, cooked, and argued in the North Atlantic between the late eighth and mid eleventh centuries.
Everything you see us wear or carry, we made. That is the point. Reading about a seam is one thing; sewing it wrong twice and getting it right the third time teaches you why the original looked the way it did.
We are not a performance troupe and there is no audition. New members spend their first months borrowing loaner kit and learning footwork before anyone hands them anything sharp.
What we do
Three things, seriously
Discipline 01
Combat
Sword, spear, axe, and shieldwall drill under trained marshals. Every bout is fought in full kit with blunted steel and inspected before it starts. Safety rules are not negotiable and we will happily bore you with them.
Discipline 02
Craft
Naalbinding, tablet weaving, leatherwork, woodturning, and forge time. Members teach each other, tools are shared, and the monthly craft night is open to anyone curious enough to sit down at the table.
Discipline 03
Living history
Full encampments at festivals, schools, and libraries. Period cooking over fire, textile demonstrations, and honest answers about what we know, what we are guessing, and what the sagas exaggerated.

Event 2
Time to get the food with a really long description testing the prose and how well it formats for these long text blocks. When it runs on really long that's what happens.
But really, we gotta get food.
Anyone!
Thursdays at half six. Just turn up.
Practice runs year round, rain or shine, and the first six months cost you nothing. Wear something you can move in, bring water, and stand at the edge until you feel like stepping in.
No need to sign up — but if you would rather say hello first, send a note and someone will meet you at the gate.
