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 rootes 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.

As Winter turned into spring, Shub who was attending the Universtity of Akron while completing his Senior year of highschool discovered that Avalon had practices on the university grounds. Madog and Shub showed up for their first outside of Rausumea (although it had no name yet) practice. They brought with them two freshly covered swords of their type of construction. Many times Winfang has said, "I thought that you guys [Madog and Shub] were old veterans returning and that you were going to beat everyone up." A statement which could not have been farther from the truth. Shub and Madog gained a lot of insite as to how larger battles were played out and how to build lighter better weapons with less materials and brought them to the group.

Durring that first spring the group started to gear up for and event called Ragnarok XIII which was to be held in southern Ohio. This was the time of the first meeting of the group, Tarquinn, Shub, Madog, and Zrn-norg and a few others met in Madog's Pole barn and decided that the group was officialy going to be a tribe of Vikings going by the name of Rausumea (which the spelling of was not solidly known for another year) and an in prompt to election took place making Madog the chieftain of the tribe. Many of the fighters aquired garb and new Avalon style weapons were constructed. Upon returning from the event, the fighters that attended brought back with them new skill and re-assurance that quickly changed the way everyone fought in combat.

The next year was a pretty shaky year, not to much fighting occured amoungst the group. Madog and Shub left for full time collage, Shub to Akron University, and Madog to Pittsburgh. Leaving the group mostly managed from remote. The group continued to fight mostly on weekends when both leaders returned home and durring breaks in the acidemic years. Over the next year's Ragnarok XIV most people who called themselves Rausumeans camped with Angaron a group from Pittsburgh Ohio that Madog was doing work with. Camping with Dun Harrow and Wolfpack, the camp was nicknames Don-Pack-Aron, and many ledgends of the camps mighty tasks completed in battle are still ledgend amounge Rausumeans. Also Shub and Madog were able to show a 2nd place standing in the ledgendary Goat Race.

Not long afterwords that August one of the most tragic things to happen to Rausumea occured. Skyn- [Nathaniel Adkins] one of the founding members of Rausumea died suddenly, the morning after a practice, of a massive heart attack that was mostly a result of heart defects that he had. Rausumea still morns the warriors death to this day. Even now Rausumeans call the month of September Skyn in his memory.
