The Fellowship of the Black Hats is a network of warbands based on the Chorny Klobuki, the military elite of steppes tribes who formed autonomous warrior communities.

It serves as an umbrella for the different individual fighters and small units, in which the small units, while retaining their group identities and autonomy, help to create something larger. We can organize, make our small groups a strength, instead of being individuals fed into battle one or a few at a time.

Members and those who hire on for a war are paid individually in coin minted for the SCA, as well as receiving something for their unit participation. A token of membership is a black-furred, white topped kubanka-style hat
