The DoA is a household within Drachenwald for women fighters. The idea behind the household is to encourage women fighting by offering them extra support and a chance to discuss any problems they might be facing. The household is for female fighters only, usually within Drachenwald. Although we have menfolk who show their support as companions. Hopefully all potential members will be approached and asked to join by a member. Please contact us if you think you have been unfairly left out.
The forum is open to all and any to join, and we are always on the look out for unsure fencers to help them out. We are aware of the challenges of posting on a board that has large numbers of people, who are generally men, and how daunting this can seem. So, please feel free to post upon it!
The forum address is a yahoo posting board at -
