Harmonic Entropy

House of Harmonic Entropy

”A people that makes great distinction between its scholars and its soldiers will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools.” King Leonidas

”If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl. But, by all means, keep moving.” Martin Luther King Jr.

The household was founded in the year 2018. It was created to oppose the apparent favouritism when dealing with higher level awards. A group that would grow in size and esteem until it rose entire Kingdoms to new levels of honour, and portraying ideals and service that might make one worthy of a knighthood. The head of the household wishes to remain anonymous, and most household business will be done by proxies in different Kingdoms, but he watches his household and makes an effort to know the names, faces, and reputations of all members and applicants.

Members of this house should always inspire fair play and aim to teach others. Harmonic Entropy is dedicated to improving every aspect of its members lives; mundane and Amtgard related. The household does not discriminate by interest and will foster an atmosphere of improvement and learning among both martial and artistic skills. All members of the household are equal save the founder/head of house. There are no ranks, we are on an equal field. And we are here to teach each other.

All meetings are held in a circle so as to better see each member. Potential members, called pledges, are observed and then voted on by the household. There is no membership fee, but members are encouraged to donate materials, money, or skills to the house to help in our goal to teach classes and create a balance between arts and fighting.

The meeting in a circle is still encouraged but due to being spread across multiple Kingdoms these discussions are usually held in open groups in person locally but also by Kingdom level proxies in a group chat.

Tenets

- Speak up for those who are being silenced.

- Accept all failings, never accept defeat.

- Household disputes and business are to be settled privately within our ranks.

-All members should work to improve themselves; in both arts and combat. (if applicable)
