SeptemberI would like to personally apologize for the long stretch between updates. We simply haven't had any new art to post, but I assume everyone has been busy with summer activities and school starting.
The Monthly Media for September is: This poem, written by Sir Master Brand deux Leons (aka McLiam)Knight, Bard, Poet & Scholar. Consider, Question and Conclude as you will.
Warrior's Heart
"What keep am I to hold?"
"What doorway can I bar"
"What fill to keep out cold?" {The answers are not far.}
"What song am I to sing?"
"What promise can I swear?"
"What poem to parchment bring?" {The answers come now near.}
"What foe am I to fight?"
"What battle can I win?"
"What quest is mine by right?" {The answers here begin... }
A sword you do command.
Your heart shall be your hand.
We encourage all members to watch/read/be inspired by this chivalrous media! We look forward to viewing all the beautiful deviations that will come from it.

Is it really possible to do many of those things in this day and age and still uphold the ideals, though somewhat contorted they are, of a democracy? Granted, there is no such thing as a true democracy, that in itself is inachievable. But we do take into consideration the rules of chivalry. While it is rather difficult to commit acts noticeable on the Internet, there are many members who I see in "real life" that uphold as many of the rules of Chivalry as possible in this society...specifically those in regards to the Crown and the King.

And there are a lot of women out there that, since achieving more equal rights, don't view a lot of the chivalrous acts as respect, but as a means of demeaning them.
