Brokkr:
I came to the Western Circle through a friend of a friend.
I have long enjoyed studying weapons and their uses though this is my first time taking instruction in the use of one. I've had a little bit of other training in wrestling, Tae Kwan Do, and archery and I look forward to becoming proficient in the use of melee weapons.
I enjoy the Western Circle most when I'm in honorable combat testing my opponents for weaknesses I can use, evaluating their techniques for ones I can use, and learning my own weaknesses. To all those I face, thank you for everything you give me, I am eternally grateful and hope I give as much back as I receive.
I have now been a part of the Western Circle for close to a decade and I thought this needed an update:
I originally entered with a heavy amount of skepticism but found I enjoyed it and liked the founding principles of the combat system. As I learned I decided to practice for my own enrichment but was firm in my resolve to never take on the role of Kaiden. I had to much respect for them and didn't want to take on that burden even though I love to teach and learn.
The foundation that Taage laid in me grew through my practice and my enjoyment of the fellowship that the Circle provided until the Western Circle was an indispensable part of my life. When Taage's path took him out of Redding I was faced with either letting the school that Taage built from nothing close or taking on the role of Kaiden myself. Thus my path as Kaiden began and I tried to take good care of the gifts given me by my Kaiden.
I now understand that you learn as much by teaching as by any other practice. So I thank my students for their gift to me, and every member of the Western Circle for being a part of me.
For those wondering why I've finally chosen to take on a sword name, I found one that fits. My time in the Circle has been a story of crafting: myself, my weapons, my armor, and many other things for various reasons related to the Circle. Brokkr is a Viking dwarf that helped craft Norse items such as Mjolnir.
My usual brevity on full display. I look forward to all of the times my path crosses another warrior, let this text be my salute to you all.
