The Academie d’Espee exists to promote the practice and enjoyment of period style combat with the rapier and related weapons as well as service to both Atlantian Rapier and the Kingdom of Atlantia. Period style includes the use of sixteenth-century fencing techniques, fighting dress and demeanor (on and off the field) and the development of personae appropriate for an individual practicing the rapier in the later period. Service to Atlantian Rapier includes promoting such activities as tournaments and classes. Service to the Kingdom of Atlantia includes pursuing such activities as would benefit the Kingdom beyond those normally expected of an individual.
The Academie d'Espee has three (3) official ranks: scholar, free scholar, and provost. These ranks do not correspond with Kingdom awards, though when one joins the Order of the White Scarf and is a member of the Academie, they become a provost. When a new member joins the Acadmie with beginner experience in rapier, they are known as a scholar and take the Scholar's Oath. When they reach novice level prowess, are participating in the rapier community by performin service, and have started to become a leader among their peers, three (3) provosts may sponsor the scholar to be elevated to the rank of free scholar.
