Welcome! What martial art do you practice? I dabbled in shudokan karate for awhile, just a few belt advancements but it was such great exercise and community!

Several of them. I am currently actively practicing Judo and HEMA, but I also hold rank in Shotokan and have done BJJ, boxing, wrestling, and aikido.
Really enjoy swordsmanship. Thus, the HEMA practice. Judo I have done long enough to be a black belt and help coach, so I feel I need to stick with it.

Ooooo, swordsmanship. Haven't done that, but staff kata were so fun. I bet if you stick around and go to Anni you'd dominate the annual sword fight. :P

Welcome! I thought your intro was interesting and I like Lan as well. I haven't read the Dresden books but I am growing more interested. Feel free to reach out to any of us if you have questions!

We have an annual event where we all get together called Anni. At this event we always hold an Amyrlin's tournament - this year there was trivia, sword fighting, archery, and a lip-sync battle.

What Elania said! I've never been to Anni, so my knowledge on that is second hand/half-remembered.

Spring, and the location is different each year. 2017 it was held in Colorado, and next year it'll be in Idaho.

There's also a continental Europe party, held last year in Norway, a Britain & Ireland one, in Scotland this year, North America Fall Ball, in Michigan this year, and JordanCon, in Georgia this year.

tv.net doesn't run J*Con, but a lot of us go each year.

I like this interesting name you have chosen lol

Also, we are all a pretty helpful bunch so pretty much anything that you might have questions about or are just curious, poke someone :)

Thank you for the warm welcome. Now that I have had a chance to look around a bit, I do have a question. What is the 'Mistress of Foretelling' and why are you her?

You as well. Barony of Northkeep, Ansteorra over here.
1 question, have you been to a Gulf Wars yet?

We went last year, but we didn't make it this year because we didn't know whether there was another shoulder surgery in my future. Last year we were there Tuesday and Wednesday, before the tornado or microburst hit. We went for my husband's squire's handfasting. It was really wonderful, and I hope we will be there next year. Have you been?

Oh yes. I missed this year, but usually go. I had been to the 2 before that, including riding out Gulfnado in a 25' round that I was helping hold down. :)
