Severe Kidney Stone Pain

Ranaan

The year was 1101. The Crusaders had landed in the Holy Land to create the Kingdom of Jerusalem. In broadening the borders, they came, north of Tel Aviv, a stronghold in the remote desert. This fortress, held by the infidels was virtually impregnable. Thirty men, crowded inside, resisted an army of thousands of Fanti. The fortress was situated in the middle of a sea of \u200b\u200bsand, on a rock. It was not possible to create siege engines, climbing walls or simply besieged. Inside was a well, not outside. A small contingent, however, remained on guard. A year later, a soldier of fortune, after having asked its noble lord available men, prisoners and slaves, and having received little more than permission to proceed and a blessing, he put his plan into motion. He spent another year, or slightly less, and managed to break into the fortress with his ten men and win. What happened was that in the long time they had dug up to find the well, or caves, the legend is not letting on, and at night were introduced into the fortress. He was awarded the title of Knight and Lord of Ranaan, the fortress in fact, and was given a heraldic symbol, but he never used, taking a compass with four points on a white coat, a symbol of a landmark nothing in the desert.
hence our name.
Ranaan Knights, knights of intelligence, as well as the weapons. Our white robes, a four-pointed star on the riders, simple clothes for the squires. Members of a School of Sword Medieval Armor Basso, our equipment is in use, the return from the Crusades, the warriors of 1380. The beginnings of Armor Plate (arms and legs) on the basis of chain mail, below, from the gambison combattimnento, very thick, filled with horse hair. The helmets are mostly Pentolari, bearded, and more. Heavy Weapons, knives from 140 cm to 3 kg, complete the equipment. Individual choices affect the equipment personale. Alcuni di noi propendono per l'utilizzo dello scudo tondo, altri hanno eletto lo stile "della Fiorentina", che utilizza due lame appaiate come propria tecnica di combattimento. Io, come Maestro, prediligo lo spadone a Due mani: centosettantadue cm di acciaio forgiato.
