Sunday - 9am–11am, at the VC permanent shelter in B. Chiv Chat is an informal time for folks to gather and raise topics of discussion with the Chivalry. Past Chiv Chats have included interesting discussions on conventions, personal philosophies of conduct, viewpoints of roles and responsibilities between Knights and Squires and occasionally more esoteric subjects. We have found Chiv Chat to be an interesting activity at Sport of Kings that perhaps helps to bridge gaps between the perceptions of An Tir's Chivalry and the perceptions of the general populace and unbelted fighters. It is a good activity for Squires to join in on. Moderator is Jarl Ulfred Draumfjalr
