OUR CODE To fight beneath the raven banner - under the watchful eye of Óðinn/Woden. To be 'victorious' in re-enacted Dark Age/Viking Age warfare. ('Victory' being defined as optimum entertainment for a paying audience.) The safety of the audience and cast is our foremost priority. To sacrifice ego for effect i.e. the success of the show takes precedence over the perceived performance of any individual. To share out all profit/booty equally once all overheads have been met. OUR LAWS No person under 18 years of age may enrol for combat. Nor can any be accepted merely to please a kinsman. Women enrol for combat on equal terms to men and at their own risk. On the battlefield, each must avenge the other as a brother. On the battlefield, none must ever speak a word of fear. News must be disseminated through our leader. No man/woman must be absent for more than three consecutive shows or training sessions. None must stir up quarrels or take vengeance but submit the matter to the leader's judgement. Every warrior must undertake our show combat training programme prior to taking part in show battles.
