Company History

Arthon

The Chosen is Amtgard's premier fighting company, and is active in several medieval recreation societies. The company was originally formed in Barad Duin (HFS) shortly before the Amtgard-HFS split in 1991, but is now primarily Amtgard based. The Chosen excel in the fighting arts to the exclusion of little else. The Company caters exclusively to the Stick Jock mentality and will often ridicule "flurby" attempts at role-play. The company name was originally created, in fact, 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 on a black, ripped tabbard. This was originally a nod to the corsairs, who often took to the field in the same gear - save for ripped, and shabby grey/black tabbards with their insignia. Torch culture is very much based on fierce competition amongst one another. Members vie for a pecking order not just on the field, but off the field as well.
