About

The Birds of Prey formed on April 28, 1995 as a Mercenary Guild, and Fighting Company out of the VSR. The original members numbered 3 Dukes, Duke Sir Falcon, Grand Duke Sir Raven, and Grand Duke Sir Hawk. Later they recruited more members to thier ranks and were a very fierce and vicious company which specialized in hit and run tactics and scrimishing. Known for thier curved scimitar short swords and high skill as florentine fighters. A common tactic seen was that they would circle thier prey, diving in for quick strikes and eventually collapsing in on thier weakened foe. It is said that more than a few kings of VSR hired this company to protect them, or defeat powerful foes. In 2007 Duke Falcon died of surgical complications. For a time the company was largely inactive, but has seen a revival in the Wetlands.

Company

In the capacity of an Amtgard Fighting Company the Birds of Prey are to Defend the Kingdom they call home from those without Honour. The Members are loyal to their Kingdom, and it's King, come what may.

Household

In the capacity of an Amtgard Household, we try to promote roleplaying both on and off the battlefields of Amtgard.

Guild

In the capacity of an Amtgard Mercenary Guild, We are to help our home Kingdoms from foreign aggressors in times of great need, even if it places us against our own.

Birds of Prey Code of Honour

1: Meet Honour with Honour; Meet injustice with retribution. 2: Those without honour deserve no mercy, and even less respect. Return injustice upon the enemy threefold, so that he will come to fear our wrath. 3: The Honourable opponent is to be shown Honour, Respect, and Chivalry, and when necessary, Mercy; for by having the courage to act with Honor, he or she has earned these things in return from us. 4: If a Birds Of Prey member feels that a given action they are about to undertaking is wrong, for whatever reason, they should not do it. To go against one's own morals is to embrace cowardice; It requires courage to do the right thing. 5: Birds of Prey should always stand by their home Kingdom in Mult-kingdom events, and should put aside petty differences until the event has been settled. Our loyalty is to the Kingdoms we call home, and it takes precedence over all other considerations.

Please note all members listed above are no longer active with in the Birds of Prey. They are listed as its Founding and starting members only for a Brief History and out of respect for what they created that still fields the field of battle to this day.
