Company History

Clalibus

The Chosen are Amtgard's premier fighting company, and are active in several medieval recreation societies. The company was originally formed in Barad Duin (HFS) shortly after the Amtgard-HFS split in 1991, but are now primarily Amtgard based. The Chosen excel in the fighting arts to the exclusion of anything else.

Arthon

The Company caters exclusively to the Stick Jock mentality and will often ridicule flurby attempts at role-play. The company name was originally created as a satirical mockery of role-playing groups who took themselves too seriously.

Originally, members of the Torches would take to the field in black "phaser" style sunglasses, donning a silver, spray-painted torch centered against a black, torn and unwashed tabbard. This was originally a nod to the Corsairs, who often took to the field in similar "styled" adornment. Torch culture is very much based on a fierce competition amongst one another. Members vie for a pecking order not just on the field, but off the field as well. Becoming the best fighter within the group is highly respected and often members are ridiculed if they cannot "keep up" with the status quo.
