Quotes
Amtgard is a dream, a dream to be shared, a dream to be lived. Dream with me friend.
Amtgard is a land of the soul where we can dare to be ourselves. We can set aside the masks we face the mundane with and look upon each other anew. This rare place of the soul is fragile and needs vigilant guardians. We are the dreamers, we are the gatekeepers of this kingdom. Our weapon is imagination, our shield – friendship.
"You can always get better, there are always those who can defeat you…and every one can teach you. Your self should always be your best and worst opponent."-M'deth
