The Dreadswords are the core Heavy Infantry of the army, and fight alongside the BlackGuard and the Lord Commander on the frontlines. It is from them whom the BlackGuard are chosen. Naturally, being a part of the Heavy Infantry, the investment can be high, due to obvious reasons of having to wear armor. Yet, Chainmail is a completely valid approach and can be purchased at a very affordable price. Shields and swords are provided to you by the club.

Expectations for Character creation

  • BODY ARMOUR: You will be expected to wear Black Chainmail at least, and if you wish, some elements of plate armor coated with black paint (steel or high quality steel imitation). We can support you with some pieces for your first game but in the long run you should plan on investing real life money if you wish to continue wearing plate armor with your Black Chainmail. 
  • HELMET: As the "front row" unit you will be expected to wear head protection. We strongly recommend getting helmets with full face guard to avoid happy accidents during battle rush and adrenaline. Helmets need to have protective padding inside and is a personal item which should be bought to fit your head measurements and preferences. 
  • GAMBESON: It's protection for you from our enemies and your armor. This is also a personal item which can be bough or handmade for you.
  • TOWER SHIELD: As you will be participating in the shield wall during our battle scenarios you must wear a tower shield provided by the Royal Armoury.
  • ONE HANDED SWORD or SPEAR: We will provide you with weapons fit with our game and safety standards.
 
Other Expectations: As it is more physically taxing Class and Role we strongly recommend working on your strength and stamina to be fit to wear your heavy gear and be able to enjoy the game!
