Ferris
Recruit
We have been working very hard in an attempt to bring large organized events to Fire and Sword, after I was informed by many people that they would love some organized events.
This is what we have come up with so far, and we hope to host the first events soon thanks to the support we have recieved from Westre and his servers
Thank you Crighton for the hard work planning gear and Rules
