Memories

The Clan MacColin was invited by the autocrat to demonstrate pike formations at the event. This caused some controversy since the pikes had metal (most of them lead) points. The Marshal, Bhaltar, insisted that no steel be used in his Field, even if it was not technically combat. The Clan MacColin complied by using pointless pikes, which they then named, "Bhaltars".
