====== Patron ======
A **Patron** is an honourary rank within the [[groups:guilds_and_orders:ealdormere_academy_of_defence|Ealdormere Academy of Defence]]. A Patron is anyone who supports the fencing community in Ealdormere. Anyone who wishes to be considered a patron should ask, and should be accepted.

Patrons are given a purple scarf as a mark of their rank. For special service, the Academy may vote to accord a Patron a gold stripe on their scarf. This would cover those whose support is more active and of long duration. Examples of service include, but are certainly not restricted to: assistance at list tables, assistance with paperwork, support of fence as a chirurgeon  or waterbearer, constructing garb for fencers, making equipment (hilts, etc.) for fencers, research of any kind into fencing or the culture of the rapier era, etc.
