Personal Memories
I became guildmaster of the Armorer's Guild when Lord Langdon moved to Pittsburgh in 1988. Lord Langdon went on to become the Baron of the Debatable Lands which later became AEthelmearc. Lord Langdon and I came up with the idea of an event specifically to advance the art of armoring. Later, with the support of Lord Marc Rengarth who was the Middle Kingdom Armorer's Guildmaster, I was able to bring this to fruition by event stewarding the first one in, I think, 1989. I'm not sure but I think the Cleftlands Armorer's Guild held the first kingdom level event of this kind. I know Northshield had one later on.
It was a wonderful cooperative effort by master armorers from both the Midrealm and the Eastrealm. We had some of the best armorers in the known world give generously of their time to teach and further the art. Just 2 of note were Marc Rengarth and Robert de la Mont who are the best I have ever seen. Master De la Mont later assisted with the restoration of the Cleveland Art Museum's armor court. It was this kind of dissemination of knowledge that Lord Langdon started and I continued to promote during my time as guildmaster. I think this legacy carries through to this day.
I went on to event steward the next 2 armorer's events until, starting in the winter 1991 by getting married to Duchess Emmelynne Carithil o Gwynnedd, moving into a new house and getting very busy with my mundane work load, I had to eventually relinquish the Armorer's Guild to the care of Ephraim ben Shlomo 1992. - Emrys of Gwyntarian
