Fire and Steel Dark Age Re-Enactment Society is an Australian re-enactment society based in Newcastle, NSW.
The group began as an alternative to the SCA in the Newcastle area primarily to fight with more accurate weapons, and armour in around 1989. Some of Fire and Steel's early membership were ex-SCA or still played with the same. Over time the contact lessened to the point that new members of both clubs had not heard of the other.
Fire and Steel suffered from the early re-eneactment splitters disease splitting once with a number of members leaving to join the Huscarls and another to form Samildanach in the early nineties. Since then, Fire and Steel has remained active and has come to pursue a very anti-expansionist policy.
Its members are more living history orientated than some, but combat remains an oft enjoyed activity.
Fire and Steel once enjoyed a kind of rivalry with The Huscarls but this has since disapated. Recently a joint Fire and Steel/Huscarl effort has brought archery into the beginnings of general melee at NEMAS' Easter Gathering.
