The Rapier Rats

History

The Rapier Rats (the "Rapier Legion") were a group immortalized in a song by Master John Inchingham the Fool. They comprise many of the first fencers in the Middle Kingdom, and were the core of the rapier community for years. They were formed the year before Pennsic 20 (1990). The song began to be composed in 1991, during Tangwystl's reign, and continued to add verses (as folks were added to the Legion), over the next several years. It is still performed occasionally to this date (AS 49). According to Warder Nihthauk (Rey Barreto), it was "First sung after the 2nd Rapier Academe at the Post Revel at Fritz Bare's house. Afterwards, Don Robin of Gilwell declared All Midrealm Rapier fighters "Rapier Rats". As Such, All Midrealm Rapier Fighters are still "Rapier Rats."

Master John and his wife, Warder Maire, moved from Ansteorra in 1990. Because of this, the Legion started with a distinctive Ansteorran flavor, in that, as in that Kingdom, the Queen wore a white scarf to signify that she was the head of the order (Order of the White Scarf). The first Midrealm Queen to wear a white scarf was Tangwystl Caterina D'courci, followed by Queens Lisa Dolorosa and Katya of Shadowood Stars.
