Shad has been killing it lately man. Nearly 700k subs, best-selling author, and being a dad on top of it. Meanwhile, I accidentally poured the milk into my cereal with a little too much enthusiasm this morning and made a mess. I'm 30.
I personally saw shad and ten of the bravest warriors there, shield the crowd and festival from the fire with their bodies. Immune to the beasts firy breath due to his dedication to the spirit of Machicolation's!!! They protected the innocent and slew the beast! Another person has described the slaying of the creature above. PS. hello from utah shad!
Either you have a spectacular telescope or you had taken a long journey. PS. I do know it was the one ring which let you see and not any of those ridiculous modern methods.
At first I was skeptical about the so called dragon attack. Then I realized that if dragons existed anywhere it would be Australia. Y'all have some deadly creatures down there 😳😲😬
Not gonna work unless he can go into a different realm and film it. If he manages not to tick one off, the dragon will most likely try to reason with him, not that he can do any damage on a dragon anyway. I know it's a joke, but still.
@@geranarthy2309 The hell of the thing - in Australia, I could actually believe a tale of a feral Kitchen Sink attack. They're like sarlaccs, only smaller.

You would be VERY WELCOME here in the U.S.! Could probably do a tour, and I hope you come through Colorado where I live. There is a Medieval Renaissance Fair that tours out here and You would be a hugely popular guest! Hope you come.
Well if you send some appearance requests to the organizers they might invite me, you could link them this video and the previous one to show what a success it was.
@@shadiversity I live in the US and if so, I'd do everything in my 18 year old, minimim wage making power to be there! Maybe there'd be a dragon there as well! XD
It was a pleasure to meet you Shad! :D (I'm the guy in the belted red coat doing the flourish at 11:08 , and that's also my displayed harness earlier in the video at 3:37 ) Apologies for my social awkwardness/shyness/nervousness on the day, lol - I've never done a flourish in front of a crowd that big before, and have also never won first place in anything physical before! :)
While many pommels were thrown to end the dragon rightly, it was Shad's slow, methodical, and calculated unthreading of his great weapon that finally brought the mighty beast down! Soon after, his victory cry of MACHICULATIONS could be heard echoing across the fields, repeated by all those who witnessed the wonder. I'm glad you had fun Shad!
Damn, this looks fun. I used to live in Cornwall, and they had festivals like this at Pendennis castle. A lot of the time it was specifically pirate-themed, but there was one I specifically remember that had jousting and combat reenactments. It was totally thrilling seeing dudes walking around in full plate.
I will read Shadow of the Conqueror tonight in my armchair next to the fireplace with a storm outside and enjoy some whiskey while doing so. I cant wait :D
The speech Shad gave during the dragon atack moved me to tears, thanks to it we were able to stand against the beast together with him at the front (I hope your eyebrows grow back soon)
6:15 As someone who also works in an independent production company, I think that when most people ask questions like "what's it like to film ___?" that they're more asking "what's it like to make ___?" I know I'm always asked about the music process, which typically leads to an editing process discussion anyway. P.S. If you can ever afford the time and trip to the US, the King Richard's Faire in Carver, MA is top notch, and I bet you could get a few good videos out of that trip.
Like it or not Shad you are one of the biggest in the historical/fantasy youtube community. Do not be surprised, when I meet Lloyd (Lindybeige) in Visby in 2015 (or whas it 16?) I felt more exiteted than if I would have meet any moviestar (damn that guy is surpisingly tall, he looked down on me and i'm 187 cm). Please do show up in Sweden some time, the medieval week in Visby is really something to see. Ps I have finished your book and I really gotta say its really a damn good debute novel. Damn I laughed everytime a recognised a thought or comment from the channel.
Man you are so cool! All my friends, the decent ones anyway, are subscribed to you! I really wish I could have gone. But i simply forgot. Hopefully next time!
Dude that looked like hilarious craic! You conducted yourself well sir! Very professional and charismatic, engaged the crowd throughout(literally everyone in the crowd is a certified legend btw! They stayed engaged with you throughout and really brought great energy to your meet and greet) and you stayed MOVING! Almost never a static object, you provided everyone watching at the ring the chance to engage and contribute to the gathering! Shad and shadiversity fans at the abbey medieval festival... I Salute You!
I told you to enchant the area to ward off dragons, but you wouldn't listen. In any case, *_MAAAAAAACHIIIIIIIIIIICOOOOOOOOOOLAAAAAAAAAATIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS!!!!!!!!!!_*
Shad, if you ever have a hankering to do a U.S. Meet-n-Greet, I recommend Scarborough Faire in Waxahachie, TX (it's just outside of Dallas). It usually takes place in April-May, so it's not very hot, and Texas has things in common with Australia, only our wildlife is much less deadly and our accents aren't as impressive. Also, no drop bears to spice things up. :(
Looks like loads of fun. Appreciate you sharing this event and your experience with the CZcams audience that were unfortunate enough to not attend. Would love to see more. I gotta say though. I'm surprised I didn't see some immeasurably intense sword flourishes. Out of curiosity...if I did a backflip mid-flourish would I be rewarded bonus points? Because I can do what's called a cheat ganer and a corkscrew flip with a weapon in hand. I gotta know so if I attend......you get what I'm saying.
I'm an aspiring writer and I have used things that I learned from your CZcams channel. The video about you releasing your book was a feeling I am chasing.
Sorry to say good Sire, you are a celebrity. I'm in Canada. If you were to be in this country and going to an event where I could go, trust me, photos and autograph would be a must. Your knowledge and person are appreciated worldwide. You are very appreciated in this Community (Which I would like to say, I saw as various small communities of people of all sorts who appreciate medieval natures, you helped a lot in making in one that is worldwide). You have helped to shine lot of light on many rumors and legends, make clear of various terms and way of life of this period of time. For this we thank you immensely. Shad, you are a celebrity in all time zones.
Professor Shadiversity didn't even look at the Dragon as he just screamed his WAR CRY. This the Dragon roared back giveing the slayers a moment to slay the beast. Plus I wish we knew who won the competitions HEHE
So awesome!!! Shad meets his adoring fans! I can tell by the look of the festival that it's a proper historical recreation festival and not just a random fantasy and goth mish/mash. The Renn. fairs we have here in the U.S. are ok but we lack festivals like this. Well done Shad!
legend says the dragon soul was captured by shads body and used as a powefull voice !! * MACHICOLATION VOICE UNLOCKED * WHEN USED THE FOES FANTASY ARMOR INSTANTLY DROPS AND LEAVE THY PERSON UNARMORED .
Why should we ask how a Shadiversity episode is edit? A magician never tells his tricks anyway. And with this quality of editing and humor it has to be the craft of a truly high skilled sorcerer. But even a sorcerer of the level couldn't rescue the footage of the epic battle, already destroyed by the dragons harmful fire. But Shad led his loyal fans into battle. Everyone of them equipped with a sword on there back. They drew it out smoothly and started to push the dragon into defense. When he was almost out of stamina, they all gathered around Shad and shouted what has to be the most epic war cry in history: Machicolations! That was too much for the dragon to withstand and so he flew in awe, thankful that there are still humans who care about dragons.
Shad, it was so awesome to see this video of you at the festival! I'm so glad that you were surrounded by your fans, because you truly deserve it. Your content is amazing and I hope that I can meet you one day too. The photos of you and your fans at the end was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us.
Dear Shad Machicolations Brooks’ editor, you do a good job on all the videos, I would love to see an edisode in how to edit a Shadiversity video. Keep up the goodwork. For people who are confused: 6:13 (the text at the bottom of the screen)
Shad, here's a new weapon series you can try: Pick out a single weapon at a time, list off every last variation of it, and let us know your opinions on them and which ones are your favourites.
Do admit it Shad, receiving positive and encouraging comments is great and all, but nothing can beat meeting your actual fans in real life. Keep this memory dear to your heart mate.
Un-ironic Reference. “Mom, I can heard his battle cry...along with several other screaming.” “How can that be possible... he is 4 hours car drives away from here!!!!???”
This is one of my favorite of your vids because the way you appreciate all your fans was really cool to see. I live on the west coast of the USA, and can say that we'd love to have you in the Inland Northwest!!!
i guess, a good machicolations warcry summons dragons now, huh? dayum, australia really is getting more and more dangerous... better carry a sword down there
Great to see you there Shad! I've attended the Abbey festival a number of times but meeting you there was one of the highlights for this year. You create great content and you're a really nice genuine dude. Thanks for taking time out to say hello to me and keep doing what you do :-D
Would have liked to meet you Shad, sorry i missed it. It sucks that you pretty much show up in my backyard but i have to ghost you. Oh well got to take care of the family, I'm sure you understand.
"This is the first prize, but this one's mine" If i was there, first thoughts would be "Do i have to fight you to get it? Tch, should've brought me Bollock Dagger"
I attended Pennsic one year and there was so, so much to see. And I was there for three days! Didn't see a tenth of it. And I wasn't even a celebrity. Fun times, glad Shad had fun at Abbey Medieval Festival! Looked even more exciting... they had horses!
As a member of a biggest reinactment group in Serbia i am lucky enough to attend festivals like these almost every week. This one looks awesome and i would have loved to come and meet you shad but its kind of a sea in beetween serbia and australia xD. Festivals in Europe are lucky enough to be held in or close to real medieval castles so that really ads to the charm of it all. Hopefully one day you could come to one of our festivals im sure Europe would love to have you ^^
Even in the far-off Drachensreich, I, James of Dragon Hill have heard of the great battle fought by the mighty and wise Lord Shad, and his Knights of Shadiversity. The songs of the bards already rival those of the ancient heroes and already the craftsmen and artists in my land have made proposal for commission and patronage of murals, tapestries, and writings chronicling this battle. Hail to you, Lord Shad, may your halls resound in the triumphant song worthy of this great victory!
How cool! I live in Detroit, our local version of this is the Michigan Renaissance Festival, held every weekend throughout late August and September. One of the highlights of the year!
Cant remember how i first discovered your channel, Shad but so glad i did. Love your infectious enthusiasm and this vid was just ...lovely. machicolations!!! And many thanks. Ps. Can not for the life of me understand why anyone would give this vid a thumbs down. Weird.
Shad Brooks. Knight of Everfall and Lord of Honorguard has graced his subjects with his presence and that is a right of passage for a lord of a castle.
Shad, sorry for offtopic, but I have read your book and it is amazing! And could you clear some confusion for me, please? Specifically the mechanichs of turning darkstone. Because there are explanations for moving darkstone straight, but I don't think there is anything on turning)
Multiple light sources with differing levels of luminosity. A hub the shines on a darkstone core and the front of the ship with another on the other side of the core towards the back will cause the core to rotate.
Hey shad a friend of mine was one of the competitors for the sword flourish, wondering if the full comp would be released Love to see that and I feel like it didn’t get a lot of love in this video
Good to hear you enjoyed the event. I've been going consistently for the better part of a decade now, and it's always fun. And you're right when it comes to the hits. I've seen warhammers break hands, a dude got his cheek cut open with an axe, it might be "safe" but it's no joke
I saw Shad do a triple backflip onto the dragon's head and strike down tombstone-style with his mighty claymore to finish the beast off
I have heard many similar accounts
Yeah that was good, right after about half of the festival made it go deaf by yelling “MACHICOLATIONS” at the top of their lungs right? Good times.
He wouldn''t have needed the third flip with the katana.

I want to watch that dragon slaying. We need to get to 1 million!
I'd have put that at 2 million. 1 million, while quite an achievement given the time frame, becomes less unlikely with greater exposure.
It's impossible because they didn't have cameras in the medieval times, just wait for the tapestries

He who dislikes shall burn in the fires of Hell, for they are unworthy of the power of MACHICOLATIIIIOOOONNNNSSSSS!
I live on the other side of the world and even I have heard of shads great bravery and skill while slaying the dragon
Shad Brooks. Knight of Everfall and Lord of Honorguard has graced his subjects with his presence and that is a right of passage for a lord of a castle.
Shad, sorry for offtopic, but I have read your book and it is amazing!
And could you clear some confusion for me, please? Specifically the mechanichs of turning darkstone. Because there are explanations for moving darkstone straight, but I don't think there is anything on turning)
Multiple light sources with differing levels of luminosity. A hub the shines on a darkstone core and the front of the ship with another on the other side of the core towards the back will cause the core to rotate.
@@shadiversity Thanks!
@@shadiversity Next book when? :D
@@empireempire3545 when it's done I presume
Im glad that you and everybody there had a great time. Wish I was there, the Abbey Medieval Festival looks way better than Disney World in my opinion.
You need to come and see the Texas Renaissance Festival. It's amazing.
Red tunic man had a very stylish flourish.
Hey shad a friend of mine was one of the competitors for the sword flourish, wondering if the full comp would be released
Love to see that and I feel like it didn’t get a lot of love in this video
Good to hear you enjoyed the event. I've been going consistently for the better part of a decade now, and it's always fun. And you're right when it comes to the hits. I've seen warhammers break hands, a dude got his cheek cut open with an axe, it might be "safe" but it's no joke
Why do I feel like Shad was the most prominent in the slaying of the dragon?
Great, as if I needed more reasons to visit Australia. Cheers from Florida!
Shadow of the Conqueror coming tomorrow can't wait to read it
