A '''hawk''' is a small [[bird of prey]] and different types of hawks can commonly be found all over the world. They are used for [[falconry]]. In [[heraldry]], they are used in the same way as [[falcon]]s.

Most people like to make sure 'goode time we shalt all haveth'. That is true in the [[SCA]], which has various [[laws]] set down to try and make everything run smoothly. A key part of this is making SCA [[combat]] safe. Minimum [[armour]] standards, requiring all fighters to be trained and then [[authorisation|authorised]], the practice of [[clear|calling clear]] and the magical word ('[[hold]]') are just part of the Society-wide regulations.

There is a [[urban legend|story]] that one insurance company assessed that SCA combat was safer than the sport of tabletennis!

The '''Shire of Turmstadt''' is a [[groups|branch]] of the [[SCA|Society for Creative Anachronism]] in the area of Nuernberg, [[Germany]]. It has proudly held a leadership position in the German-[[Austria]]n Region of the [[Kingdom of Drachenwald]] for many years. At one time the [[kingdom]]'s [[Seneschal]], [[Earl Marshal]], [[Exchequer]], [[King]] and [[Queen]] were all drawn from its [[member]]s at the same time.

For folks that only speak [[English]], "Turmstadt" translates (from [[German]]) as "[[Tower]] [[City]]"

Its traditional [[event]]s include Red Hot [[Rapier]], The [[Tourney]] of St Mathieu, and Harvestfest.

It proudly sponsors the [[Stronghold|Strongholds]] of [[Nebelwald]] (which is centred in the [[US]] military communities of Grafenwoehr, Vilseck and Hohenfels), and [[Rauchenderberg]] (located in the Schweinfurt area).
