Founded Monday November 29, 2004, Ģłαđæü§™ was created by those who were tired of the traditional ways of Amtgard, Inc.™ Politics and rule lawyers were flooding into the freeholds and various lands, baronies, duchies, and kingdoms of Amtgard™ and ruining play for many people. They may not realize it yet, but this “monarchy” is quickly becoming a dictatorship and/or pure and utter Anarchy. As far as we are concerned little sense remains in the upper ranks of the Amtgard™ hierarchy. (This is what we feel and it is fully substantiated by our own opinions…which we are entitled to. This may not be true…so do your own research and come to your own conclusion.) We also felt that Amtgard™ is way too limited on its class system and find that there are many historical and legendary classes which have so wonderfully been excluded from the list. (Oh, and the “Healers” of Amtgard™…..YOU’RE WHITE MAGES!!) There are several points of the Corpora that are left up to common sense (which, as you know, isn’t that abundant in today’s society) so we wish to make a system where everything is spelled out in nice, simple, common law, Webster’s Dictionary English. We will not be monosyllabic with you, as we feel you will find our rulebook will be simplistic in nature, yet fairly in depth. (plus writing an entire rule book in monosyllabic phrases would be all too difficult and make little sense.) We have basically begun a pilgrimage into the unknown depths of the imagination and free thought to find a perfected fantasy realm in which all LARP fans may engage in fantasy battles where very, very few matters are disputable.

They got as far as designing a system of Titles, but there is no Corpora, and no Rulebook.
