Terminal Rapier Orders

After a Dicussion on the Ansteorran Cadet’s List, it was brought to my attention that it may be beneficial to have a central repository detailing each Kingdom’s Terminal Award for Rapier combat. Here its that list.

Kingdoms are listed in chronological order of Order’s founding

White Scarf Kingdoms:

• Ansteorra
• Outlands
• Trimaris
• Atenveldt
• An Tir
• Atlantia
• Caid
• Æthelmarc
• Artemisia
• Lochac
• Northshield
• West

Non-White Scarf Kingdoms:

• East
• Drachenwald
• Ealdormere
• Middle
• Meridies
• Gleann Abhann

At the time of last update, Calontir has no awards for Rapier. The Calontiri Rapier/Cut-and-Thrust program is in its infancy.
