== Introduction ==
<div>Norbert visited the society in college, but wandered off to be responsible. Late in life Katharine of Ravenshill plied him with horses and archery (and mounted archery!) to return to the dream.

== Persona ==

Norbert is ''usually'' Yuan dynasty Mongol.  Depending on the weather, the phase of the moon and the reports of local augurs, Norbert can also be 16th century Spanish, or Venetian or even English.

== Offices ==

None. Responsibilities are for mundane life. I participate in the dream to avoid responsibility. The name “Norbert the irresponsible” cannot be registered. Norbert Dolittle is the closest that the society allows.

Authorized as equestrian ground crew, rider, lancer and mounted archer.

May wish to add "how to fight against mounted archers?" although that might fit better in a future class on warfare for those who don't care.

== Introduction ==
Norbert visited the society in college, but wandered off to be responsible. Late in life [[Katharine of Ravenswood]] plied him with horses and archery (and mounted archery!) to return to the dream.

== Persona ==
Norbert is sometimes 16th century Spanish, sometimes English, sometimes Mongol. Depends on the weather, the phase of the moon and various auguries

== Offices & Positions ==

None. Responsibilities are for mundane life. I participate in the dream to avoid responsibility. The name “Norbert the irresponsible” cannot be registered. Norbert Dolittle is the closest that the society allows.

Warranted as ground crew for equestrians; a fact about which Norbert is in self-denial.

== Projects & Publications ==
What does a mounted archer use to pull the bowstring (unpublished, in support of the equestrian marshall forum)

== Activities ==
For each of the following, I have far more enthusiasm than skill.

* Equestrian
* Archery
* Horse archery

== Heraldry ==
None. I’m still pondering whether having a badge might be a slippery descent into the morass of responsibility. If I ever resolve that, I’ll have to find a book herald to discuss

''Four horseshoes interlaced; an arrow palewise''

== Awards and Achievements ==
None

== In case of court ==

New Wiki Accounts
This changed a while ago so here's a quick review of how to get a new account on the wiki. This is a 3 step process and had to be implemented to keep out spammers.

# fill out the form behind the 'create account' link on the top right corner of any page.
# confirm your email account.
# request is reviewed and approved by myself or the Wiki Deputy (Diego)

=== Creating Content ===
If you're new to the Wiki World you may want to check out the '''Examples page ( [[Examples|here]] )''', which has a number of useful examples for article layouts. There you will find a number of example templates for creating your own pages.
