M'lady Meriyan,<BR>I have a shield hand guard (steel) made by Brand Lancaster who's well known, and I am holding it for Daniel now.<BR>Also I finally have had time to go through some of our clothes (remembering your earlier posting) and have a <BR>shirt and pants that will fit Daniel, both black. He and my son Dane the Red fought repeatedly at Elfsea Defender<BR>and had a grand time together, and both are the same size!<BR> <BR>You also mentioned he has knees already, but if they are not steel and he could use such, I have a pair of knees<BR>with fans that perhaps one of our Elfsea armorers can help him finish out.<BR> <BR>He's about to move into the Youth Chivalric division of Youth Combat once he turns 16, meaning that he'll be wearing <BR>the exact same gear as all adult heavy fighters, but fighting 16 and 17 year olds at events. With parental approval and <BR>being OK'd by the Kingdom Earl Marshal, he may also begin fighting at events once he passes as a full adult fighter per <BR>the Kingdom Youth Combat rules. This is explained on Page 8 of the Complete Participant's Handbook at <BR><A href="http://marshal.ansteorra.org/handbook/Complete%20Participant%27s%20Handbook%20Aug%202008.pdf">http://marshal.ansteorra.org/handbook/Complete%20Participant%27s%20Handbook%20Aug%202008.pdf</A><BR> <BR>Like Connor, Ryan, Boris and some of the other young fighters, he's probably already being trained by our best at local <BR>practices which is superb experience for him and the others. (Thanks to all of you who take the time with our <BR>Youth Combat fighters; your efforts are GREATLY appreciated)<BR> <BR>I'll be at Coronation and Steppes Warlord helping run the Youth Combat Tourneys at each, and you can also catch me<BR>by email or by phone which I think you already have (I'm listed in the Blackstar as well)<BR> <BR>Let me know how I can help,<BR>
