Dear SCAdians interviewed in “Reclaiming the Blade”:
This is what a solid blow to the leg with a sword does. It nicks bone, or just shears on through. These are femurs, the biggest bone in the human body.
If you get hit in the leg hard enough to not be able to stay on both feet, you are NOT going to go down on your knees and keep fighting. You are most likely going to go straight down the ground, and either bleed out almost immediately from a severed artery, or your opponent is going to deliver a killing blow even before that can happen.
So while I get that the SCA swordfighting rules say “if you get hit in the leg, fight on your knees”, please do not claim that this is reflective of a real fight with real swords. Especially do not say this on film in a documentary that is meant to dispel myths about medieval European swords and swordplay.

PS I realize this movie came out a few years ago and the SCA bit has been roundly debunked as far as historical accuracy there and elsewhere. However, I just watched it myself tonight, and that bit was rather jaw-dropping.

Besides the fact that those are tibias, a piece of the occipital bone, and a piece of the frontal bone (I believe), the rest of this is correct. :)
There’s certainly plenty of saga evidence (the accuracy of which I suppose you could debate) that describes legs being sheared off in single blows, and even if they were not severed, fighters were typically ignored after a blow to the legs, suggesting they were incapacitated.
i was working on that sebastian redesign that i posted a little while ago when i suddenly wondered if starkhaven—or even more specifically, the vael family—had some sort of family crest or symbol, like the amells. searching the internet brought up almost nothing, so i went digging through the DAII game assets.
turns out there is a starkhaven crest. and a whole bunch of others i’ve never seen before. so i decided to take the raw files and do something useful with them.
these symbols were taken directly from the DAII game art assets folder. most likely these are not all the symbols that show up in the game, but i don’t have access to the legacy and mark of the assassin DLC assets since those files are encrypted. a number of these are also probably not official (canonically) either. my guess is that some of them were concepts that later got changed/refined or just scrapped. they’re still fairly interesting to look at though.
there are probably a number of symbols some of you may recognize (especially if you’re the diligent type to go shifting through the dragon age wiki or bioware’s blog). i left them in there regardless, for those who may have not seen these before.
if you would like to have the crests/symbols as individual files, all at larger res, you can download them [HERE]!

Reblog if it’s okay to ask you to RP, be friends, or even talk.
yesssss because right now i am bored and a bit LONELY as it were and need more virtual hugs
And the bed seems like the most comfortable place to read too! I haven’t quite tried the last one, but I have ended up partially under a table…
I totally have this solved - I think.
I just need to get one to try it out…
No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training…what a disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

I am never going near children again
This is amazing. Children are 90% teeth.
this is bizarre and terrifying and so COOL
SCREAMS. SCREAMS OUT OF MY MOUTH.
AND you can age children by which teeth are forming and how much they’ve formed! :D It’s the best method of aging a child/juvenile skeleton.
Regarding the above, you’d be shocked how much of skeletal analysis contains the phrases ‘kind of’, ‘most of the time’, and ‘sort of like this’.
