An Introduction

Hello readers! I have been inspired to create this blog through the show Deadliest Warrior and the various fan-made blogs that have been created since the show's creation.

Though I am new to the whole blogging thing, I plan to pit various legendary figures thoughout human history against each other in either simple one-on-one duels, small group skirmishs, or large group conflicts. I'll be presenting information and history about each legendary combatant and the tools, weapons, armor, tactics, and various other tidbits utilized by each legendary figure to determine which of the combatants would win in a duel to the death.
