Micel Folcland Public Statement
3. Minimum Requirements for Membership
To participate in a Regia event, you will need:
Regia Membership
You can find membership information at the main Regia site. Membership is $17 a year in North
America, plus a fee--currently $5 in Micel Folcland--to the local group. You must obtain a
membership form from the Group Leader.
Historical Clothing
This is not an approximation but an exacting copy. It is not necessarily expensive, especially
when you are re-creating a lower-class impression. It is better to do an excellent Thrall than a
mediocre Thegn! Note that being a Thrall does not mean that you are a slave, doing all the rotten
camp jobs (we take turns doing them!)
A Desire to Educate
Or at least not to mis-educate.
Authorization for Any Combat Activities
Because of the use of actual weapons—steel, but with rebated edges—exacting standard are used
for training and authorizing fighters. But if you do not intend to participate in the battles, you
need not worry about this!
A Sense of Fun & Adventure
This isn't a grim avocation. We're all here to educate, of course, but we're also doing this to have
fun. If you don't think you'll have fun, then don't do it!
