[Bordermarch] Terry's Italian Ren

[lburgin]

Far be it from me to contradict our founding Baroness and our beloved Tessa, 
but darts ARE in late (renaissance) period, they were not very comon though. 
Dart away Terry. There are other more common ways but are more difficult and 
too hard to explain in writing.  AmberLea
