Greetings!
My name is Brother
Modar the Unknown.
I'm also know as Modar le Templar.
| I began in the SCA in 1976. |
| Due to my interest in the history of the Knights Templar, |
| I have started this website as a starting point |
| for those in the SCA with a similar interest. |
| I call it the Baillie of Sidon. |
| Many Templar sites have come and gone since I began this page. |
| I can't say why many disappear so fast. |
| Perhaps it's because that stars that burn bright burn fast. |
| . |
| As time allows I will continue to add to and update this site. |
| I ask your indulgence about any missing links. |

If you have an
interest in developing
a Knights Templar persona,
check out the following links:
One of the interesting
aspects of the Templars was their general prohibition against
playing games.
However, there was one game that was allowed them.
The latter part of Rule 317
[from
The Rule of the Templars trans. by J.M. Upton-Ward]
addresses
this game:
"And
let it be known that a brother of the Temple should play no other
game except marelles,
which each may play if he wishes, for
pleasure without placing wagers."
Marelles is the old French
name for the game now called Merels.
For the rules of this game, click here.
