[Ponte Alto] Academie d'Espee

[Belphoebe]

Hi there.  

Yes, the Academie has a website.  It is not a bad idea
to link it.  

In that regard, about 50% of the rapier fighters of
Ponte Alto are members, including Marcellus.  The
other 50% (including myself) have chosen not to join,
and I would highly suggest not to try to pressure
anyone into joining.  It is a very personal choice.
 :-)

Cheers,

Belphoebe
