Global:Handbook

Global rules

Our handbooks have many sections where information is common across all disciplines - these rules apply to the sphere of our martial endeavours.

Rather than referring you to another handbook as may have happened in the past, that information is now included in every handbook, which is why some are a lot longer than they used to be!

To ensure that we maintain consistency for this information, it is sourced from the Global Rules.

As the Society Marshal's Handbooks are updated to the new format, these sections will be included in each.
