History Actual

Rausumean history is generaly divided into Generations. Generations often mark major changes in organization of growth of the group.

Pre First Generation

Rausumea forms it's rutes from an underground club that formed in Medina Sr High School in Ohio around 1994. The group was run by a man named Gabriel - [Sam Potter] and had many members including most of the original founding members of Rausumea. The group was called The Gathering and was played a sword fighting game based off of the popular television seriese and movie Highlander. The group met in secret and played an drawn out game of Highlander with wooden dowles, broom handles coated with electrical tape, and axe handles to represent swords. Many of the players of this game later moved to Akron Ohio and became members of Mirkwood, Avalon, or one or more of the many groups that split from those groups. In the names of people other than Sam that desirve credit are; Moe Misty Cochran, Whitepaws Ryan Murry, Shub John Fellhoelter, Andrew Fidel, Madog Kurtis M. Kiesel, & many more.

First Generation

When the freshman of the original group became seniors in high school, one of Shub's friends who is now known as Jikanta talked to hime on mIRC and told a tale of a sword fighting group she had just discovered, which was the early stages of Wolfpack or it might have even been Numenor. She directed Shub to the national website, and soon the idea of foam padding weapons to spar with was the way to go. Sometime around August of 1997 their was a sparring session at Shub's house where dap and blue foam was applied to a new type of pvc coated with electical tape weapon that had been an experiment of Madog's Gimpy. That day would be the last day of sparring with broom handles and dowels for many of the close nit group of friends.

Rounds of construction soon began amoungst the group. Madog's large back yard and huge pole barn soon became the place to gather. Ample room to fight and avoid parental interferance was probably the main reason amoungst the 16-18 year old kids. Often on Tuesdays and Thursdays everyone would start calling each other and before 4:30 everyone would be at Madog's home to sword fight. Copies of the handbook were printed out and the group quickly changed from Highlander Immortals to a band of Norse Vikings that were at war with Elves of the woods. It was a golden age of enlightenment for those kids. They were free of conflict other than the ones they dreamt up from their imaginations. Battles were often long and their weapons were often huge... and buy huge... Swords were often 6" square on a cross section with layers of open and close cell foam and 3 feet long on the blade with a core that was 2" PVC. Durring this time Garb was a dream that many were realizing was going to be needed but nobody really new how to sew, even thier swords were bare foam and duck tape.
