History
The Amyr were founded in 2012 from the former members of Belegarth's disbanded Rogue Company. The unit was created to emphasize sound fundamentals in fighting, excellent garb, and willingness to teach new skills to all members of the game. The unit traditionally seeks out its new members, looking for fighters that bring out the best in those around them, are self motivated in bettering themselves, and who have a drive to learn everything they can so they can spread it back to the rest of the Belegarth community. The Amyr is a unit built on group trust and friendship, and the unit members see themselves as a family.
- Colors: Navy, Black, and White.
- Sybmol: White Lotus
Mission
The Amyr's mission is to better the sport of Belegarth by upholding its four foundational pillars. The belief is that by being good examples of each pillar, its members will create an association between each pillar. For example, a fighter that appreciates and wants to learn one of the Amyr's fighting skills will hopefully associate that same skill with their weapons, good garb, and willingness to teach. From there, as fighters see members of the Amyr as role models in one area, they will also strive to improve in the other associated areas as well.
Four Pillars
- Fighting Fundamentals: The key to excelling as a fighter is to have a solid foundation from which to grow. The areas of foot work, fighting posture, weapon grip, body mechanics, shot selection, range control, shield work, weapon guards, reading your opponent, and an overall intelligent, safe approach to fighting make up the core of this pillar.
- Garb: A fighter's garb is their billboard as well as their sports uniform on the fighting field. Garb is the one of the first things you'll notice about a fighter and it will be a symbol for everything they embody in your mind. A fighter needs garb to match the climate he's fighting in as well as durability to match his level of roughness.
- Weapon Technology: Crafting light, balanced weapons that will stand the test of time is an art form that anyone who has ever constructed one will attest to. There is always room for improvement as new ideas and technologies are uncovered by testing new designs.
- Teaching: Without the other pillars, this pillar is useless, yet, without this pillar, the knowledge other the other three would never spread. Condensing the experience and passing on the knowledge gained through years of fighting is an important skill and an even more important aspect of how Belegarth grows as a community.
