History of Dai M'Hael

Nimeroni Quilana:

==Formation==
Dai M'Hael, along with {{vc}} and {{sds}} was formed in [[The Tower in 2002|January 2002]], when it was felt that the male {{SM}}s needed their own [[Community Groups]] to be the equivalent of the [[Community Groups#Ajahs|Ajahs]]. At the time, it was decided to form it loosely along the lines of personality traits associated with [[Thalion Krisman]], who was to be the first leader. The company was formed along the concept of leadership and planning, Dai M'Hael meaning "Battle Leaders" in the Old Tongue.

At formation, several {{Gaidin}} joined the company.
The known members were:
*[[Thalion Krisman]]
*[[Axis]]
*[[Janos Audron]]
*[[Ramone]]
==Development==
Thalion led throughout the year, to be replaced by [[Val a'Shain]] at the beginning of 2003.

The next major event in the history of the Company was mid January, when the newly raised {{soldier}} [[Toral Delvar]] decided to join. Val stepped down later that year to take on the position of {{MaA}} and was replaced by [[Rollyn Montagorae]].

In 2005, the Company was able to get rid of some of the dead wood when the {{mdd}} Company was formed and Sunri, Sataere and al'Cary all fled.

Rollyn later stepped down, and was replaced to Toral Delvar, who led the Company to undreamt of heights of prestige and influence, recognised by many as the greatest and most admirable of the Companies. He eventually stepped down as rotation was brought in, to be replaced by Naeris.

==Leadership==
The company is currently led by [[Ivanor Winshaw]].
