This is the list of mottoes that were collected for Honor and Glory when we were getting ready to decorate them. <br />
* Master Oxlade's translations<br />
** quo officium et gloria ducunt - Where duty and glory lead<br />
** quis nos seperabit? - Who shall separate us?<br />

** gloria umbra virtuitis - Glory is the shadow of virtue<br />
*Mistress Rhiannon's translations<br />
** una voce - With one voice<br />
** nihil virtutem habet sine honore - Nothing has worth without honor<br />
** ubi congredimur, ibi est gaudium - Where we gather, there is joy<br />
** Honoro Gloria et Harmonia - With honor, glory and harmony<br />
<br />
*Challenge! We wanted a specific phrase, so Ox and Rhiannon both attempted a translation:<br />
** English: By his claws can you judge the LionDragon <br />
** Rhiannon: Unguibus leodraconem iudicares potes (this one was used)<br />
** Ox: Per eius ungues leodraconem poses iudicare (this one was not used)<br />

[[File:Fairharvest 2006 Champion Basket.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Champion's Baskets]]<br />
<br />
===PREMIER EVENT: 2005===<br />
''"The Warden - Heavy. We wish to invite all fighters to join us for what should be a very exciting tourney. Because of the format of the competition it can not be stressed more that we need as many people in armor as possible. At signup, you can declare your intent to claim the Warden title. If you do not wish to compete for the title then your name will go in to the Brigands column. This is a perfect way for new fighters and people with time constraints to get some practice. After the List closes, the Warden hopefuls will come before the crowd and introduce themselves (personal heralds are accepted). Each Warden hopeful will square off against 3 Brigands in a 1 vs.3 match. The Warden Hopeful will be awarded 0-4 points for the match. 1 point for each Brigand defeated and a Bonus point for surviving. After 2 matches for each Warden Hopeful, we will select the top 2 for the final round. The Field Battle will place the last Two Warden hopefuls in the role of War Band Leader. Anyone in armor that wishs to be part of the Field Battle may join in. The bands will be selected by the War leaders, one fighter at a time. [Editor's Note: it was picked randomly from a hat, at the event.] We hope that we can have combat Archery in this round. [Editor's note: As it turned out, there wasn't any.] During this battle, the two War leaders are just that, leaders. They cannot attack or be attacked. Only after a War leader has lost all of his men is he free to engage himself. The survivor will be our new Warden."'' <br />

<br />
Arthur Blackmoon provided this about the Children’s Archery: "No one had planned a children's shoot, but I was asked by a couple of parents if there would be one. I got with Lord (Geoffrey) Makepeace, and we set up a foam jack-o-lantern, suspended from a string, off of a set of hay bales at approximately 10 yards. (Due to the age difference of two of the competitors, (if I remember right, 5 years and 6 years) we moved them up to approximately 5 yards. We had 4 competitors, up to 13 yrs of age. Each shot 3 arrows at the target, with only 13 yr old Drake and 5 yr old Chyryne hitting the target, once each. They then shot 3 more arrows each, with arrows coming close, but no hits. Then on the second shoot off, Drake hit with one arrow, and Chyryne missed all 3. Drake was impressive not only in the way he won, but also in the chivalrous way he acted afterward. Drake won a plastic jack o lantern that had been used as an adult target, so it was full of arrow holes, and full of candy. (Ulrich von Budigen paid for the candy, while Karl Thorgeirsson ran to town and picked it up.) Chyryne was impressive in that she had only touched a bow once before in her life. (She had previously shot 2 arrows, ever.) At her very first event, she got first place against someone over twice her age. I had left the house with out any children's prizes, but did have a couple of mirrors. I was impressed enough to want to reward Chyryne for doing such a good job."<br />

<br />
==Events ==<br />
* A Letter of Thanks from His Majesty Inman II to the Barony of Namron, on the occasion of The InterKingdom Event, held in 1984: [[File:7 17 84 Inman thanks Namron.pdf|7 17 84 Inman thanks Namron.pdf]]<br />

* [[Timeline of Events ]]<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
==Trivia ==<br />
* The Barony has a number of special traditions, including throwing [[Spangs]] and holding Haiku Fights and Rumor Contests. (For Example: In 2003, the was a "Rumors heard at Beltain about Adena and Kylie" contest. The winning rumor was, "I heard all of those spangs used to be princes until Kylie kissed them!" which was supplied by Katren Fitzgerald.)<br />
* Namron has a very vibrant and active brewers guild, known as the Honorable Brotherhood of Brewers, Mazers, and Vintners. This has spawned a number of unofficial groups, including the "Disreputable Brotherhood of Drinkers, Quaffers, and Beggars," and the "Unorganized Society of Independent Wenches." <br />
* The sword given to the Protector of Namron is named "Storm Singer."<br />
* The rapier given to the Baroness's Justice is named "Besse de Toronado" (Kiss of the Storm). <br />
* [[Elric Dracwin]] - "I remember when Baroness Gwenyth was going to exit court as Baroness of Namron, it was intended that she would process down to a barge that would ferry her away across the lake. Unfortunately the winds were so strong she wasn't able to go directly across the lake, but rather had to go around the Lake's circumference. Instead of taking a half an hour, it took a full hour. This was at Taylor Lake, near the Rush Springs/Marlowe area. It was a primitive site we used a lot for several years. " (This was the site that Mouse was struck by lightning.)<br />
* [[Elric Dracwin]] - "Mouse was a really funny jester. During Namron Beltane we have the spang hewing event. Mouse had made a full size Spang costume, and was cavorting about. That night, a storm rolled across site. Mouse had set up his tent under a tree, and the tree was struck by lightening. He was shocked very badly. Everyone claimed that he had angered the Spang Gods. Each year he would hang his spang costume on the tree as a peace offering."<br />
* [[Inman MacMoore]] - In the early days, Namron was where I went to have fun. Everywhere else, it was like being under a microscope. But there, you can just enjoy yourself. Two of my squires were from Namron. I've always loved to go north - Namron was my place to play. Gwenneth was always there, and always made everyone welcome.<br />

<BR><br />
<br />
==Founding / History==<br />
* In September 1978 (A.S. XIII), [[William Blackfox]] attended a wargaming convention at OSU and introduced a number of students to the SCA, one of whom was [[Haldane Sparhawke]]. For more info see [http://lists.ansteorra.org/pipermail/ansteorra-ansteorra.org/1996-August/086437.html this post on the Kingdom Email Archive].<br />
<br />
* By April of 1979 (A.S. XIII), the '''Incipient Shire of Mona Sceaduw''' was formed.<br />
<br />
* By September 1979 (A.S. XIV), Mona Sceaduw was formally recognized as a Shire.<br />
<br />
* Here's a page from the research conducted toward a bid for Baronial status between 1995 and 2005: http://mooneschadowe.ansteorra.org/files/historymoon6.pdf<br />
<br />
* After many years of hard work and numerous events, in January 2006 (A.S. XL), Mooneschadowe became a Province!<br />
<br />
* In 2021, Mooneschadowe became the sponsor for an Incipient Riding, [[Marata]]!<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
==Heraldry==<br />
* AS XV - (Jan. 1981), the name '''Mona Sceaduw''' and the device, ''Sable, in pale a sun eclipsed argent and a laurel wreath, a chief Or'', were registered with the College of Heralds.<br />
* AS XIX - (Jun. 1984), name was officially changed to '''Mooneschadowe.''' We tried to register the "bullethole" badge but it failed.<br />
* AS XXIII - (Nov. 1988), a different concept on the bulltehole badge - failure again.<br />
* AS XXVI - (Jul. 1991), device change to: ''Sable, a sun argent, eclipsed sable, and on a chief Or, a laurel wreath sable''. At the same time we registered our first badge: ''(Fieldless) A lion-dragon statant contourny Or.''<br />
* AS XXIX - (Apr. 1995), tried a third time for a bullethole badge -- epic failure.<br />
* AS XXX - (Jan. 1996), 2nd badge: ''(Fieldless) A peacock in its pride proper.''<br />

==2013 Calontir's Cook's Symposium; Theme: German==<br />
''As posted on the Mooneschadowe list, 4-29-2013, when Jean Paul asked how the event went.''<br />
<br><br />
<br />
I thought was several kinds of awesome. Let me describe the event:<br />
<br><br />
<br />
Friday night is social - people saunter in as their time allows, and since this is a gathering of cooks, someone brings nice wine, someone else has home-brew, someone has a collection of cheeses (some of which may or may not be banned), and someone else has bread. Someone brought a few kinds of jellies including one made with port wine. [edit: I've since heard that this is a fairly rare phenomenon in Calontir, and it is a great honor to be included in the festivities.] When Sabine and I arrived around midnight, the party was fairly quiet in decibel but well attended.<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
The classes on Saturday are a nice blend of hands-on and show and tell. Many classes have a "here, taste this" component when they are not "let me show you this hard-to-find resource." Teaching classes is gratifying because the audience knows how to use the thing you brought as an example of how your recipe can go wrong. :-) Her Majesty Calontir [Catalina] participated in classes and brought grace and beauty to the day. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
Feast is "potluck" in that people bring things that they've made at home or on site in the course of their classes [sausages, some bread, Rumpoldt's apples]. There were several kinds of sausages, lots of breads, exotic desserts, and fancy vegetables (including armored turnips). Everything was tasty and plentiful. And the company was lovely and interesting and engaged. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
I think we'll be better able to tell stories at the Revel - about the Food of the Bayeaux Tapestry [and shown on a large scale in the thread by a person recreating a section], and Nostradamus's opinion of what to do with cherries [mash them into jelly, and make the pulp into fruit leather], and how to start translating German works from the 1400s into tasties to share [most markedly Rumpoldt's work by Mistress Gwen Cat]. <br />
<br><br />

==2012 Eldern Hills Baronial==<br />
Once upon a time at an even not at all far, far away, a lady sat felting while sipping her extraordinary tea. As she sipped her tea, another lady approached carrying a beautiful pie. However, the pie was a vain character and could not stand the idea of anyone enjoying tea while they could be enjoying a delicious slice of pie. So as the lady with the pie began to sit on the ground, the pie launched itself out of the lady's hands and attacked the tea reserves.<br />
<br />
<br />
The tea was taken by surprise. The pie pan crushed the tea's container and began ripping the tea from the container and spreading it upon the ground. The tea screamed and looked upon the pie with tea filled eyes. And sighed a sigh of death. The pie realized what it had done but it was too late. The deed was finished. The pie gave himself to be eaten by the four Iron Artisan competitors to fuel them as they worked.<br />
<br />
<br />
With their bellies full of pie and their minds full of the thoughts of tea, they labored over their work. From the death of the tea rose Fluffy the Buffalo, whose tea soaked fur enables it to defend and protect teas of the world. When a glass of tea is in danger, Fluffy will ride upon his Black Stars to obliterate the pies before the tea can be destroyed. If your tea is ever in danger,<br />
<br />
<br />
Count on Fluffy the Buffalo!<br />
<br><br />

==2011 Gulf War XX, Horse Waiver, Explained==<br />
''Posted on Facebook: March 21, 2011 at 8:09pm''<br />
<br />
I learned new things about horses this year when I worked a couple midnight-to-6am Troll shifts at War. Everyone on site had to sign a waiver that had to do with horses on site. Cresencia very clearly explained to everyone who visited us what exactly they could expect from the horses.<br />
<br />
* Horses are large and dangerous animals that can and will hurt you.<br />
* When they stand up on their back legs, they aren't trying to give you a high five or a big hug.<br />
* Horses have poor digestion. Anything you give them will ultimately end up half-digested and in the wooded part of the ravine.<br />
* If they ask to borrow your cell phone to make a local call, they'll really use it to call internationally.<br />
* When they offer to valet park your car, they really want to park your car at the bottom of the pond.<br />
* Horses leave road apples as a warning against people (like Cresencia) who spread dissention against horses.<br />
* Despite the name, road apples do NOT taste like apples or anything else good-tasting. <br />
<br />
In case some of this list does not ring true for you, remember that horses beat up the King and Queen of Northshield. The King visited the hospital with some broken ribs and a punctured lung, and the Queen had a bruised tailbone.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== [[Skorragarðr]] (Skorragarrdr) Axeman II, February 2007 ==<br />
This one time, we played an enthusiastic game of 'It'll be horrible, let's do it!'<br />
<br />
[[Skorragarðr]] was having their literal second event, under similar conditions as their first, so we knew to expect: <br />
* Bitter cold<br />
* No shelter (they _did_ have a tent with hot beverages, the second year! we huddled with a space heater for a bit!)<br />
* Primitive amenities (the site had flushies and outdoor showers)<br />
<br />
Yeah, we day-tripped that one, because camping the previous year was a Lesson Learned. <br />
<br />
There were more than 5 Mooneschadin in my party - when we got to site, we dispersed, as a traveling party does. <br />
<br />
My [[Namron]]/ [[Skorragarðr]] friends were up for an adventure, so we hiked the (sodden) fields to see if the rumored horses were friendly. I had trepidation about all that, but I think someone in the party was familiar with the fuzzes - anyway, they were unbothered by our attention as far as we could tell. (I think someone got in trouble about that - oops, and sorry to whomever we gave offense.) <br />
<br />
But my allergies kicked up Something Fierce. After a bit, I'd been sufficiently dreadful to be around that people pooled drugs and blankets and a chair for me. <br />
<br />
One of my Very Most Favorite event photos of me was taken at that event. This was when I knew I could feel at home outside my home group, and in the SCA in general - in this particular vein of "nerd hobby." <br />

==2006 Gulf Wars XV, When the Banner Bearer Killed the King==<br />
''Recounted for Mirela Ra's, via email on 8-14-2015, per her request for stories defining the SCA''<br />
<br />
So this one time!<br />
<br />
No kidding there I was, at Gulf Wars 15. I'd gone to a few Fighter Practices, armored up, and got authorized. I used one of the sets of blue plates that are still in the loaner armor; one of the UBF helms that are spray-painted Mooneschadowe-maroon. I wasn't really ready to commit atrocities, but Charles was the Guard Commander and he gave me a post: I'd carry a banner and fishbat, and I'd stay behind the lines with him, so we could rally our troops during resurrection battles and on the open field. <br />
<br />
Now, Charles made a name for himself at that War for believing in the power of the column charge. Pretty well every time "Lay-on!" was called, he'd order a charge. By the time we got to the Ravine battle, we were dragging but knew the drill - and we'd seen its effectiveness, so we were still heartened for the work. I was still not-quite-impressed with my banner - a 9-foot rattan spear with a huge wind-sail of a leather banner hanging horizontally for maximum wind-catchage, amplified by all the charging. But again - so effective! Our Guard always found each other, and we were an inspiration to our allies and a terror to our foes. <br />
<br />
We charged into battle, I stayed near Charles, or others of the Guard at times when he was taken out, then stood sentinel at Res Point until Charles rallied enough of the Guard (or willing allies) to take a contingent back into the Hell that is the Ravine battle. Time became meaningless and the battle wore on. <br />
<br />
Next thing I remembered, our Guard stood atop a small knoll, facing the opposite direction from which we'd started. I counted four of our Guard in front of me - between me and the mass of ongoing fighting. Next thing I noticed, they were three, then two. I readied the only shot I knew - the only shot I knew I could get anyone to call. <br />
<br />
Last one down, and I saw a huge bear of a man all in white running directly at me, up the hill. I threw that slot shot as hard as I could, not particularly caring if it was an unchivalrous act since my friends were all dead and I intended to make my death count, too. The shot was cleanly thrown when three spear shots landed on my arms. My brain was still too engaged in connecting that shot to yell "good!" - but by the time I managed to react in a visible way to indicate that I acknowledged the shots, I heard sounds of disengaging - laughter, waterbearers on the field, jeers about shots that didn't happen the way someone had wanted - sometimes with hilarious and unreproducible results. <br />
<br />
Our party picked up our gear and pride, and started the trudge home, up the hill behind where we'd taken our last stand. I think someone said we'd won the battle, but at that moment, we would have preferred another skirmish to caring about the results of that one - we all really needed a friggin' sammich. <br />
<br />
Before we got too far up the trail, we were hailed from the main Ravine. King Bytor, current and occasional King of Trimaris, wished to congratulate us on our victory. His excitement was a little incongruous, I'd thought, since his army had just lost - and pretty decisively, I thought I'd heard. But he was completely verklemmt from choking back his joy of a well-fought battle in order to express thanks to us for providing that battle for him. <br />
<br />
As we turned back around to find our freaking sammiches, someone told me that I'd killed the King of Trimaris. And I was all like, naw, man, naw. And they were like, yeah, it was a real thing. And I was all like - huh. <br />
<br />
I was careful to mark my fishbat from that battle, with "KS" on the handle pommel, so I would be able to find it later. It was well-made, though I don't remember who made it - maybe Charles? That fishbat had other adventures before it was killed in the service of a chivalrous and conscientious fighter I am proud to now call Sir Magnus. <br />
<br />
When the fishbat was no longer fit for duty, I reclaimed it and put it in a reliquary box for permanent display of that time when the banner bearer killed the current sitting King of Trimaris, an already-Duke named Bytor.<br />
<br />
==2002 Gulf Wars XI==<br />
First War! Mississippi. March 2002 <br />
<br />
* Our party was Reid Linneman, Ian Gass, Kevin Wegley, Charles Asbery, Libby Hieber, Bonnie Kaiser, Walter (?).<br />
* Did a lot of wandering around and Waterbearing. I got caught in the rain at one point, and ducked into a Merchant's tent where I bought a brown floppy wool hat for shelter. <br />
* The Ghetto party camped in Army half-shelters: green, low, canvas, triangle-shaped tents. We had (one or two?) spare for armor and overflow supplies. <br />
* The Ghetto-dwellers didn't have a good run of food supplies, so we had to use some creativity to get anemic grilled cheese sandwiches. Maggie shared pancakes at breakfast.<br />
* All of my garb was pulled from then-HL Maggie's closet in the last minute before we headed out. I particularly liked the Mongolian-style tunic.<br />
<br />
Some of the best parts were: <br />
* Driving through the night and catching the sunrise just outside of site. <br />
* Chatting with then-HL Maggie at the Ghetto campfire for hours. <br />
* On the way home, we stopped by Gulfport to hang out on the beach for a little while - until we all got 2nd degree sunburns. <br />
* Then we went to dinner at Randol's in Lafayette, LA with Ian's father.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
==2001 Very First Event== <br />
Ainar and Mercedes' Investiture, at Will Rogers. October 2001<br />
<br />
I wore garb out of the Northkeep loaner box. I loved that dress! It was stretchy - the texture was springy and mesh, entirely see-through. They gave me an electric blue satiny half-slip to wear under it, so I hiked that up like a strapless dress and was perfectly happy with it. You couldn't see the underdress in the fading light - until we took commemorative pics after Feast and the flash made it shine. The photos earlier in the set came out nicely. <br />
<br />
I served Feast and received a strand of black and white freshwater seed pearls as largess. I still have them, and I still daydream about what I'll do with them when I become fancy enough to wear such finery. <br />

==2013 Calontir's Cook's Symposium; Theme: German==<br />
''As posted on the Mooneschadowe list, 4-29-2013, when Jean Paul asked how the event went.''<br />
<br><br />
<br />
I thought was several kinds of awesome. Let me describe the event:<br />
<br><br />
<br />
Friday night is social - people saunter in as their time allows, and since this is a gathering of cooks, someone brings nice wine, someone else has home-brew, someone has a collection of cheeses (some of which may or may not be banned), and someone else has bread. Someone brought a few kinds of jellies including one made with port wine. [edit: I've since heard that this is a fairly rare phenomenon in Calontir, and it is a great honor to be included in the festivities.] When Sabine and I arrived around midnight, the party was fairly quiet in decibel but well attended.<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
The classes on Saturday are a nice blend of hands-on and show and tell. Many classes have a "here, taste this" component when they are not "let me show you this hard-to-find resource." Teaching classes is gratifying because the audience knows how to use the thing you brought as an example of how your recipe can go wrong. :-) Her Majesty Calontir [Catalina] participated in classes and brought grace and beauty to the day. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
Feast is "potluck" in that people bring things that they've made at home or on site in the course of their classes [sausages, some bread, Rumpoldt's apples]. There were several kinds of sausages, lots of breads, exotic desserts, and fancy vegetables (including armored turnips). Everything was tasty and plentiful. And the company was lovely and interesting and engaged. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
I think we'll be better able to tell stories at the Revel - about the Food of the Bayeaux Tapestry [and shown on a large scale in the thread by a person recreating a section], and Nostradamus's opinion of what to do with cherries [mash them into jelly, and make the pulp into fruit leather], and how to start translating German works from the 1400s into tasties to share [most markedly Rumpoldt's work by Mistress Gwen Cat]. <br />
<br><br />

==2012 Eldern Hills Baronial==<br />
Once upon a time at an even not at all far, far away, a lady sat felting while sipping her extraordinary tea. As she sipped her tea, another lady approached carrying a beautiful pie. However, the pie was a vain character and could not stand the idea of anyone enjoying tea while they could be enjoying a delicious slice of pie. So as the lady with the pie began to sit on the ground, the pie launched itself out of the lady's hands and attacked the tea reserves.<br />
<br />
<br />
The tea was taken by surprise. The pie pan crushed the tea's container and began ripping the tea from the container and spreading it upon the ground. The tea screamed and looked upon the pie with tea filled eyes. And sighed a sigh of death. The pie realized what it had done but it was too late. The deed was finished. The pie gave himself to be eaten by the four Iron Artisan competitors to fuel them as they worked.<br />
<br />
<br />
With their bellies full of pie and their minds full of the thoughts of tea, they labored over their work. From the death of the tea rose Fluffy the Buffalo, whose tea soaked fur enables it to defend and protect teas of the world. When a glass of tea is in danger, Fluffy will ride upon his Black Stars to obliterate the pies before the tea can be destroyed. If your tea is ever in danger,<br />
<br />
<br />
Count on Fluffy the Buffalo!<br />

==2011 Gulf War XX, Horse Waiver, Explained==<br />
''Posted on Facebook: March 21, 2011 at 8:09pm''<br />
<br />
I learned new things about horses this year when I worked a couple midnight-to-6am Troll shifts at War. Everyone on site had to sign a waiver that had to do with horses on site. Cresencia very clearly explained to everyone who visited us what exactly they could expect from the horses.<br />
<br />
* Horses are large and dangerous animals that can and will hurt you.<br />
* When they stand up on their back legs, they aren't trying to give you a high five or a big hug.<br />
* Horses have poor digestion. Anything you give them will ultimately end up half-digested and in the wooded part of the ravine.<br />
* If they ask to borrow your cell phone to make a local call, they'll really use it to call internationally.<br />
* When they offer to valet park your car, they really want to park your car at the bottom of the pond.<br />
* Horses leave road apples as a warning against people (like Cresencia) who spread dissention against horses.<br />
* Despite the name, road apples do NOT taste like apples or anything else good-tasting. <br />
<br />
In case some of this list does not ring true for you, remember that horses beat up the King and Queen of Northshield. The King visited the hospital with some broken ribs and a punctured lung, and the Queen had a bruised tailbone.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== [[Skorragarðr]] (Skorragarrdr) [[Axeman]] II, February 2007 ==<br />
This one time, we played an enthusiastic game of 'It'll be horrible, let's do it!'<br />
<br />
[[Skorragarðr]] was having their literal second event, under similar conditions as their first, so we knew to expect: <br />
* Bitter cold<br />
* No shelter (they _did_ have a tent with hot beverages, the second year! we huddled with a space heater for a bit!)<br />
* Primitive amenities (the site had flushies and outdoor showers)<br />
<br />
Yeah, we day-tripped that one, because camping the previous year was a Lesson Learned. <br />
<br />
There were more than 5 Mooneschadin in my party - when we got to site, we dispersed, as a traveling party does. <br />
<br />
My [[Namron]]/ [[Skorragarðr]] friends were up for an adventure, so we hiked the (sodden) fields to see if the rumored horses were friendly. I had trepidation about all that, but I think someone in the party was familiar with the fuzzes - anyway, they were unbothered by our attention as far as we could tell. (I think someone got in trouble about that - oops, and sorry to whomever we gave offense.) <br />
<br />
But my allergies kicked up Something Fierce. After a bit, I'd been sufficiently dreadful to be around that people pooled drugs and blankets and a chair for me. <br />
<br />
One of my Very Most Favorite event photos of me was taken at that event. This was when I knew I could feel at home outside my home group, and in the SCA in general - in this particular vein of "nerd hobby." <br />

''Recounted for Mirela Ra's, via email on 8-14-2015, per her request for stories defining the SCA''<br />

==2013 Calontir's Cook's Symposium; Theme: German==<br />
''As posted on the Mooneschadowe list, 4-29-2013, when Jean Paul asked how the event went.''<br />
<br><br />
<br />
I thought was several kinds of awesome. Let me describe the event:<br />
<br><br />
<br />
Friday night is social - people saunter in as their time allows, and since this is a gathering of cooks, someone brings nice wine, someone else has home-brew, someone has a collection of cheeses (some of which may or may not be banned), and someone else has bread. Someone brought a few kinds of jellies including one made with port wine. [edit: I've since heard that this is a fairly rare phenomenon in Calontir, and it is a great honor to be included in the festivities.] When Sabine and I arrived around midnight, the party was fairly quiet in decibel but well attended.<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
The classes on Saturday are a nice blend of hands-on and show and tell. Many classes have a "here, taste this" component when they are not "let me show you this hard-to-find resource." Teaching classes is gratifying because the audience knows how to use the thing you brought as an example of how your recipe can go wrong. :-) Her Majesty Calontir [Catalina] participated in classes and brought grace and beauty to the day. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
Feast is "potluck" in that people bring things that they've made at home or on site in the course of their classes [sausages, some bread, Rumpoldt's apples]. There were several kinds of sausages, lots of breads, exotic desserts, and fancy vegetables (including armored turnips). Everything was tasty and plentiful. And the company was lovely and interesting and engaged. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
I think we'll be better able to tell stories at the Revel - about the Food of the Bayeaux Tapestry [and shown on a large scale in the thread by a person recreating a section], and Nostradamus's opinion of what to do with cherries [mash them into jelly, and make the pulp into fruit leather], and how to start translating German works from the 1400s into tasties to share [most markedly Rumpoldt's work by Mistress Gwen Cat]. <br />

==2012 Eldern Hills Baronial==<br />
Once upon a time at an even not at all far, far away, a lady sat felting while sipping her extraordinary tea. As she sipped her tea, another lady approached carrying a beautiful pie. However, the pie was a vain character and could not stand the idea of anyone enjoying tea while they could be enjoying a delicious slice of pie. So as the lady with the pie began to sit on the ground, the pie launched itself out of the lady's hands and attacked the tea reserves.<br />
<br />
<br />
The tea was taken by surprise. The pie pan crushed the tea's container and began ripping the tea from the container and spreading it upon the ground. The tea screamed and looked upon the pie with tea filled eyes. And sighed a sigh of death. The pie realized what it had done but it was too late. The deed was finished. The pie gave himself to be eaten by the four Iron Artisan competitors to fuel them as they worked.<br />
<br />
<br />
With their bellies full of pie and their minds full of the thoughts of tea, they labored over their work. From the death of the tea rose Fluffy the Buffalo, whose tea soaked fur enables it to defend and protect teas of the world. When a glass of tea is in danger, Fluffy will ride upon his Black Stars to obliterate the pies before the tea can be destroyed. If your tea is ever in danger,<br />
<br />
<br />
Count on Fluffy the Buffalo!<br />

==2011 Gulf War XX, Horse Waiver, Explained==<br />
''Posted on Facebook: March 21, 2011 at 8:09pm''<br />
<br />
I learned new things about horses this year when I worked a couple midnight-to-6am Troll shifts at War. Everyone on site had to sign a waiver that had to do with horses on site. Cresencia very clearly explained to everyone who visited us what exactly they could expect from the horses.<br />
<br />
* Horses are large and dangerous animals that can and will hurt you.<br />
* When they stand up on their back legs, they aren't trying to give you a high five or a big hug.<br />
* Horses have poor digestion. Anything you give them will ultimately end up half-digested and in the wooded part of the ravine.<br />
* If they ask to borrow your cell phone to make a local call, they'll really use it to call internationally.<br />
* When they offer to valet park your car, they really want to park your car at the bottom of the pond.<br />
* Horses leave road apples as a warning against people (like Cresencia) who spread dissention against horses.<br />
* Despite the name, road apples do NOT taste like apples or anything else good-tasting. <br />
<br />
In case some of this list does not ring true for you, remember that horses beat up the King and Queen of Northshield. The King visited the hospital with some broken ribs and a punctured lung, and the Queen had a bruised tailbone.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== [[Skorragarðr]] (Skorragarrdr) Axeman II, February 2007 ==<br />
This one time, we played an enthusiastic game of 'It'll be horrible, let's do it!'<br />
<br />
[[Skorragarðr]] was having their literal second event, under similar conditions as their first, so we knew to expect: <br />
* Bitter cold<br />
* No shelter (they _did_ have a tent with hot beverages, the second year! we huddled with a space heater for a bit!)<br />
* Primitive amenities (the site had flushies and outdoor showers)<br />
<br />
Yeah, we day-tripped that one, because camping the previous year was a Lesson Learned. <br />
<br />
There were more than 5 Mooneschadin in my party - when we got to site, we dispersed, as a traveling party does. <br />
<br />
My [[Namron]]/ [[Skorragarðr]] friends were up for an adventure, so we hiked the (sodden) fields to see if the rumored horses were friendly. I had trepidation about all that, but I think someone in the party was familiar with the fuzzes - anyway, they were unbothered by our attention as far as we could tell. (I think someone got in trouble about that - oops, and sorry to whomever we gave offense.) <br />
<br />
But my allergies kicked up Something Fierce. After a bit, I'd been sufficiently dreadful to be around that people pooled drugs and blankets and a chair for me. <br />
<br />
One of my Very Most Favorite event photos of me was taken at that event. This was when I knew I could feel at home outside my home group, and in the SCA in general - in this particular vein of "nerd hobby." <br />
<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
==2006 Gulf Wars XV, When the Banner Bearer Killed the King==<br />
''Recounted for Mirela Ra's, via email on 8-14-2015, per her request for stories defining the SCA''<br />
<br />
So this one time!<br />
<br />
No kidding there I was, at Gulf Wars 15. I'd gone to a few Fighter Practices, armored up, and got authorized. I used one of the sets of blue plates that are still in the loaner armor; one of the UBF helms that are spray-painted Mooneschadowe-maroon. I wasn't really ready to commit atrocities, but Charles was the Guard Commander and he gave me a post: I'd carry a banner and fishbat, and I'd stay behind the lines with him, so we could rally our troops during resurrection battles and on the open field. <br />
<br />
Now, Charles made a name for himself at that War for believing in the power of the column charge. Pretty well every time "Lay-on!" was called, he'd order a charge. By the time we got to the Ravine battle, we were dragging but knew the drill - and we'd seen its effectiveness, so we were still heartened for the work. I was still not-quite-impressed with my banner - a 9-foot rattan spear with a huge wind-sail of a leather banner hanging horizontally for maximum wind-catchage, amplified by all the charging. But again - so effective! Our Guard always found each other, and we were an inspiration to our allies and a terror to our foes. <br />
<br />
We charged into battle, I stayed near Charles, or others of the Guard at times when he was taken out, then stood sentinel at Res Point until Charles rallied enough of the Guard (or willing allies) to take a contingent back into the Hell that is the Ravine battle. Time became meaningless and the battle wore on. <br />
<br />
Next thing I remembered, our Guard stood atop a small knoll, facing the opposite direction from which we'd started. I counted four of our Guard in front of me - between me and the mass of ongoing fighting. Next thing I noticed, they were three, then two. I readied the only shot I knew - the only shot I knew I could get anyone to call. <br />
<br />
Last one down, and I saw a huge bear of a man all in white running directly at me, up the hill. I threw that slot shot as hard as I could, not particularly caring if it was an unchivalrous act since my friends were all dead and I intended to make my death count, too. The shot was cleanly thrown when three spear shots landed on my arms. My brain was still too engaged in connecting that shot to yell "good!" - but by the time I managed to react in a visible way to indicate that I acknowledged the shots, I heard sounds of disengaging - laughter, waterbearers on the field, jeers about shots that didn't happen the way someone had wanted - sometimes with hilarious and unreproducible results. <br />
<br />
Our party picked up our gear and pride, and started the trudge home, up the hill behind where we'd taken our last stand. I think someone said we'd won the battle, but at that moment, we would have preferred another skirmish to caring about the results of that one - we all really needed a friggin' sammich. <br />
<br />
Before we got too far up the trail, we were hailed from the main Ravine. King Bytor, current and occasional King of Trimaris, wished to congratulate us on our victory. His excitement was a little incongruous, I'd thought, since his army had just lost - and pretty decisively, I thought I'd heard. But he was completely verklemmt from choking back his joy of a well-fought battle in order to express thanks to us for providing that battle for him. <br />
<br />
As we turned back around to find our freaking sammiches, someone told me that I'd killed the King of Trimaris. And I was all like, naw, man, naw. And they were like, yeah, it was a real thing. And I was all like - huh. <br />
<br />
I was careful to mark my fishbat from that battle, with "KS" on the handle pommel, so I would be able to find it later. It was well-made, though I don't remember who made it - maybe Charles? That fishbat had other adventures before it was killed in the service of a chivalrous and conscientious fighter I am proud to now call Sir Magnus. <br />
<br />
When the fishbat was no longer fit for duty, I reclaimed it and put it in a reliquary box for permanent display of that time when the banner bearer killed the current sitting King of Trimaris, an already-Duke named Bytor.<br />
<br />
==2002 Gulf Wars XI==<br />
First War! Mississippi. March 2002 <br />
<br />
* Our party was Reid Linneman, Ian Gass, Kevin Wegley, Charles Asbery, Libby Hieber, Bonnie Kaiser, Walter (?).<br />
* Did a lot of wandering around and Waterbearing. I got caught in the rain at one point, and ducked into a Merchant's tent where I bought a brown floppy wool hat for shelter. <br />
* The Ghetto party camped in Army half-shelters: green, low, canvas, triangle-shaped tents. We had (one or two?) spare for armor and overflow supplies. <br />
* The Ghetto-dwellers didn't have a good run of food supplies, so we had to use some creativity to get anemic grilled cheese sandwiches. Maggie shared pancakes at breakfast.<br />
* All of my garb was pulled from then-HL Maggie's closet in the last minute before we headed out. I particularly liked the Mongolian-style tunic.<br />
<br />
Some of the best parts were: <br />
* Driving through the night and catching the sunrise just outside of site. <br />
* Chatting with then-HL Maggie at the Ghetto campfire for hours. <br />
* On the way home, we stopped by Gulfport to hang out on the beach for a little while - until we all got 2nd degree sunburns. <br />
* Then we went to dinner at Randol's in Lafayette, LA with Ian's father.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
==2001 Very First Event== <br />
Ainar and Mercedes' Investiture, at Will Rogers. October 2001<br />
<br />
I wore garb out of the Northkeep loaner box. I loved that dress! It was stretchy - the texture was springy and mesh, entirely see-through. They gave me an electric blue satiny half-slip to wear under it, so I hiked that up like a strapless dress and was perfectly happy with it. You couldn't see the underdress in the fading light - until we took commemorative pics after Feast and the flash made it shine. The photos earlier in the set came out nicely. <br />
<br />
I served Feast and received a strand of black and white freshwater seed pearls as largess. I still have them, and I still daydream about what I'll do with them when I become fancy enough to wear such finery. <br />

==2012 Eldern Hills Baronial==<br />
Once upon a time at an even not at all far, far away, a lady sat felting while sipping her extraordinary tea. As she sipped her tea, another lady approached carrying a beautiful pie. However, the pie was a vain character and could not stand the idea of anyone enjoying tea while they could be enjoying a delicious slice of pie. So as the lady with the pie began to sit on the ground, the pie launched itself out of the lady's hands and attacked the tea reserves.<br />
<br />
<br />
The tea was taken by surprise. The pie pan crushed the tea's container and began ripping the tea from the container and spreading it upon the ground. The tea screamed and looked upon the pie with tea filled eyes. And sighed a sigh of death. The pie realized what it had done but it was too late. The deed was finished. The pie gave himself to be eaten by the four Iron Artisan competitors to fuel them as they worked.<br />
<br />
<br />
With their bellies full of pie and their minds full of the thoughts of tea, they labored over their work. From the death of the tea rose Fluffy the Buffalo, whose tea soaked fur enables it to defend and protect teas of the world. When a glass of tea is in danger, Fluffy will ride upon his Black Stars to obliterate the pies before the tea can be destroyed. If your tea is ever in danger,<br />

==2011 Gulf War XX, Horse Waiver, Explained==<br />
''Posted on Facebook: March 21, 2011 at 8:09pm''<br />
<br />
I learned new things about horses this year when I worked a couple midnight-to-6am Troll shifts at War. Everyone on site had to sign a waiver that had to do with horses on site. Cresencia very clearly explained to everyone who visited us what exactly they could expect from the horses.<br />
<br />
* Horses are large and dangerous animals that can and will hurt you.<br />
* When they stand up on their back legs, they aren't trying to give you a high five or a big hug.<br />
* Horses have poor digestion. Anything you give them will ultimately end up half-digested and in the wooded part of the ravine.<br />
* If they ask to borrow your cell phone to make a local call, they'll really use it to call internationally.<br />
* When they offer to valet park your car, they really want to park your car at the bottom of the pond.<br />
* Horses leave road apples as a warning against people (like Cresencia) who spread dissention against horses.<br />
* Despite the name, road apples do NOT taste like apples or anything else good-tasting. <br />
<br />
In case some of this list does not ring true for you, remember that horses beat up the King and Queen of Northshield. The King visited the hospital with some broken ribs and a punctured lung, and the Queen had a bruised tailbone.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== [[Skorragarðr]] (Skorragarrdr) Axeman II, February 2007 ==<br />
This one time, we played an enthusiastic game of 'It'll be horrible, let's do it!'<br />
<br />
[[Skorragarðr]] was having their literal second event, under similar conditions as their first, so we knew to expect: <br />
* Bitter cold<br />
* No shelter (they _did_ have a tent with hot beverages, the second year! we huddled with a space heater for a bit!)<br />
* Primitive amenities (the site had flushies and outdoor showers)<br />
<br />
Yeah, we day-tripped that one, because camping the previous year was a Lesson Learned. <br />
<br />
There were more than 5 Mooneschadin in my party - when we got to site, we dispersed, as a traveling party does. <br />
<br />
My [[Namron]]/ [[Skorragarðr]] friends were up for an adventure, so we hiked the (sodden) fields to see if the rumored horses were friendly. I had trepidation about all that, but I think someone in the party was familiar with the fuzzes - anyway, they were unbothered by our attention as far as we could tell. (I think someone got in trouble about that - oops, and sorry to whomever we gave offense.) <br />
<br />
But my allergies kicked up Something Fierce. After a bit, I'd been sufficiently dreadful to be around that people pooled drugs and blankets and a chair for me. <br />
<br />
One of my Very Most Favorite event photos of me was taken at that event. This was when I knew I could feel at home outside my home group, and in the SCA in general - in this particular vein of "nerd hobby." <br />

==2006 Gulf Wars XV, When the Banner Bearer Killed the King==<br />
''Recounted for Mirela Ra's, via email on 8-14-2015, per her request for stories defining the SCA''<br />
<br />
So this one time!<br />
<br />
No kidding there I was, at Gulf Wars 15. I'd gone to a few Fighter Practices, armored up, and got authorized. I used one of the sets of blue plates that are still in the loaner armor; one of the UBF helms that are spray-painted Mooneschadowe-maroon. I wasn't really ready to commit atrocities, but Charles was the Guard Commander and he gave me a post: I'd carry a banner and fishbat, and I'd stay behind the lines with him, so we could rally our troops during resurrection battles and on the open field. <br />
<br />
Now, Charles made a name for himself at that War for believing in the power of the column charge. Pretty well every time "Lay-on!" was called, he'd order a charge. By the time we got to the Ravine battle, we were dragging but knew the drill - and we'd seen its effectiveness, so we were still heartened for the work. I was still not-quite-impressed with my banner - a 9-foot rattan spear with a huge wind-sail of a leather banner hanging horizontally for maximum wind-catchage, amplified by all the charging. But again - so effective! Our Guard always found each other, and we were an inspiration to our allies and a terror to our foes. <br />
<br />
We charged into battle, I stayed near Charles, or others of the Guard at times when he was taken out, then stood sentinel at Res Point until Charles rallied enough of the Guard (or willing allies) to take a contingent back into the Hell that is the Ravine battle. Time became meaningless and the battle wore on. <br />
<br />
Next thing I remembered, our Guard stood atop a small knoll, facing the opposite direction from which we'd started. I counted four of our Guard in front of me - between me and the mass of ongoing fighting. Next thing I noticed, they were three, then two. I readied the only shot I knew - the only shot I knew I could get anyone to call. <br />
<br />
Last one down, and I saw a huge bear of a man all in white running directly at me, up the hill. I threw that slot shot as hard as I could, not particularly caring if it was an unchivalrous act since my friends were all dead and I intended to make my death count, too. The shot was cleanly thrown when three spear shots landed on my arms. My brain was still too engaged in connecting that shot to yell "good!" - but by the time I managed to react in a visible way to indicate that I acknowledged the shots, I heard sounds of disengaging - laughter, waterbearers on the field, jeers about shots that didn't happen the way someone had wanted - sometimes with hilarious and unreproducible results. <br />
<br />
Our party picked up our gear and pride, and started the trudge home, up the hill behind where we'd taken our last stand. I think someone said we'd won the battle, but at that moment, we would have preferred another skirmish to caring about the results of that one - we all really needed a friggin' sammich. <br />
<br />
Before we got too far up the trail, we were hailed from the main Ravine. King Bytor, current and occasional King of Trimaris, wished to congratulate us on our victory. His excitement was a little incongruous, I'd thought, since his army had just lost - and pretty decisively, I thought I'd heard. But he was completely verklemmt from choking back his joy of a well-fought battle in order to express thanks to us for providing that battle for him. <br />
<br />
As we turned back around to find our freaking sammiches, someone told me that I'd killed the King of Trimaris. And I was all like, naw, man, naw. And they were like, yeah, it was a real thing. And I was all like - huh. <br />
<br />
I was careful to mark my fishbat from that battle, with "KS" on the handle pommel, so I would be able to find it later. It was well-made, though I don't remember who made it - maybe Charles? That fishbat had other adventures before it was killed in the service of a chivalrous and conscientious fighter I am proud to now call Sir Magnus. <br />
<br />
When the fishbat was no longer fit for duty, I reclaimed it and put it in a reliquary box for permanent display of that time when the banner bearer killed the current sitting King of Trimaris, an already-Duke named Bytor.<br />
<br />
==2002 Gulf Wars XI==<br />
First War! Mississippi. March 2002 <br />
<br />
* Our party was Reid Linneman, Ian Gass, Kevin Wegley, Charles Asbery, Libby Hieber, Bonnie Kaiser, Walter (?).<br />
* Did a lot of wandering around and Waterbearing. I got caught in the rain at one point, and ducked into a Merchant's tent where I bought a brown floppy wool hat for shelter. <br />
* The Ghetto party camped in Army half-shelters: green, low, canvas, triangle-shaped tents. We had (one or two?) spare for armor and overflow supplies. <br />
* The Ghetto-dwellers didn't have a good run of food supplies, so we had to use some creativity to get anemic grilled cheese sandwiches. Maggie shared pancakes at breakfast.<br />
* All of my garb was pulled from then-HL Maggie's closet in the last minute before we headed out. I particularly liked the Mongolian-style tunic.<br />
<br />
Some of the best parts were: <br />
* Driving through the night and catching the sunrise just outside of site. <br />
* Chatting with then-HL Maggie at the Ghetto campfire for hours. <br />
* On the way home, we stopped by Gulfport to hang out on the beach for a little while - until we all got 2nd degree sunburns. <br />
* Then we went to dinner at Randol's in Lafayette, LA with Ian's father.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
==2001 Very First Event== <br />
Ainar and Mercedes' Investiture, at Will Rogers. October 2001<br />
<br />
I wore garb out of the Northkeep loaner box. I loved that dress! It was stretchy - the texture was springy and mesh, entirely see-through. They gave me an electric blue satiny half-slip to wear under it, so I hiked that up like a strapless dress and was perfectly happy with it. You couldn't see the underdress in the fading light - until we took commemorative pics after Feast and the flash made it shine. The photos earlier in the set came out nicely. <br />
<br />
I served Feast and received a strand of black and white freshwater seed pearls as largess. I still have them, and I still daydream about what I'll do with them when I become fancy enough to wear such finery. <br />

==2013 Calontir's Cook's Symposium; Theme: German==<br />
''As posted on the Mooneschadowe list, 4-29-2013, when Jean Paul asked how the event went.''<br />
<br><br />
<br />
I thought was several kinds of awesome. Let me describe the event:<br />
<br><br />
<br />
Friday night is social - people saunter in as their time allows, and since this is a gathering of cooks, someone brings nice wine, someone else has home-brew, someone has a collection of cheeses (some of which may or may not be banned), and someone else has bread. Someone brought a few kinds of jellies including one made with port wine. [edit: I've since heard that this is a fairly rare phenomenon in Calontir, and it is a great honor to be included in the festivities.] When Sabine and I arrived around midnight, the party was fairly quiet in decibel but well attended.<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
The classes on Saturday are a nice blend of hands-on and show and tell. Many classes have a "here, taste this" component when they are not "let me show you this hard-to-find resource." Teaching classes is gratifying because the audience knows how to use the thing you brought as an example of how your recipe can go wrong. :-) Her Majesty Calontir [Catalina] participated in classes and brought grace and beauty to the day. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
Feast is "potluck" in that people bring things that they've made at home or on site in the course of their classes [sausages, some bread, Rumpoldt's apples]. There were several kinds of sausages, lots of breads, exotic desserts, and fancy vegetables (including armored turnips). Everything was tasty and plentiful. And the company was lovely and interesting and engaged. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
I think we'll be better able to tell stories at the Revel - about the Food of the Bayeaux Tapestry [and shown on a large scale in the thread by a person recreating a section], and Nostradamus's opinion of what to do with cherries [mash them into jelly, and make the pulp into fruit leather], and how to start translating German works from the 1400s into tasties to share [most markedly Rumpoldt's work by Mistress Gwen Cat]. <br />

* If they ask to borrow your cell phone to make a local call, they'll really use it to call internationally.<br />
* When they offer to valet park your car, they really want to park your car at the bottom of the pond.<br />
* Horses leave road apples as a warning against people (like Cresencia) who spread dissention against horses.<br />
* Despite the name, road apples do NOT taste like apples or anything else good-tasting. <br />

<br />
But my allergies kicked up Something Fierce. After a bit, I'd been sufficiently dreadful to be around that people pooled drugs and blankets and a chair for me. <br />
<br />
One of my Very Most Favorite event photos of me was taken at that event. This was when I knew I could feel at home outside my home group, and in the SCA in general - in this particular vein of "nerd hobby." <br />
<br />

<br />
==2006 Gulf Wars XV, When the Banner Bearer Killed the King==<br />
''Recounted for Mirela Ra's, via email on 8-14-2015, per her request for stories defining the SCA''<br />
<br />
So this one time!<br />
<br />
No kidding there I was, at Gulf Wars 15. I'd gone to a few Fighter Practices, armored up, and got authorized. I used one of the sets of blue plates that are still in the loaner armor; one of the UBF helms that are spray-painted Mooneschadowe-maroon. I wasn't really ready to commit atrocities, but Charles was the Guard Commander and he gave me a post: I'd carry a banner and fishbat, and I'd stay behind the lines with him, so we could rally our troops during resurrection battles and on the open field. <br />
<br />
Now, Charles made a name for himself at that War for believing in the power of the column charge. Pretty well every time "Lay-on!" was called, he'd order a charge. By the time we got to the Ravine battle, we were dragging but knew the drill - and we'd seen its effectiveness, so we were still heartened for the work. I was still not-quite-impressed with my banner - a 9-foot rattan spear with a huge wind-sail of a leather banner hanging horizontally for maximum wind-catchage, amplified by all the charging. But again - so effective! Our Guard always found each other, and we were an inspiration to our allies and a terror to our foes. <br />
<br />
We charged into battle, I stayed near Charles, or others of the Guard at times when he was taken out, then stood sentinel at Res Point until Charles rallied enough of the Guard (or willing allies) to take a contingent back into the Hell that is the Ravine battle. Time became meaningless and the battle wore on. <br />
<br />
Next thing I remembered, our Guard stood atop a small knoll, facing the opposite direction from which we'd started. I counted four of our Guard in front of me - between me and the mass of ongoing fighting. Next thing I noticed, they were three, then two. I readied the only shot I knew - the only shot I knew I could get anyone to call. <br />
<br />
Last one down, and I saw a huge bear of a man all in white running directly at me, up the hill. I threw that slot shot as hard as I could, not particularly caring if it was an unchivalrous act since my friends were all dead and I intended to make my death count, too. The shot was cleanly thrown when three spear shots landed on my arms. My brain was still too engaged in connecting that shot to yell "good!" - but by the time I managed to react in a visible way to indicate that I acknowledged the shots, I heard sounds of disengaging - laughter, waterbearers on the field, jeers about shots that didn't happen the way someone had wanted - sometimes with hilarious and unreproducible results. <br />
<br />
Our party picked up our gear and pride, and started the trudge home, up the hill behind where we'd taken our last stand. I think someone said we'd won the battle, but at that moment, we would have preferred another skirmish to caring about the results of that one - we all really needed a friggin' sammich. <br />
<br />
Before we got too far up the trail, we were hailed from the main Ravine. King Bytor, current and occasional King of Trimaris, wished to congratulate us on our victory. His excitement was a little incongruous, I'd thought, since his army had just lost - and pretty decisively, I thought I'd heard. But he was completely verklemmt from choking back his joy of a well-fought battle in order to express thanks to us for providing that battle for him. <br />
<br />
As we turned back around to find our freaking sammiches, someone told me that I'd killed the King of Trimaris. And I was all like, naw, man, naw. And they were like, yeah, it was a real thing. And I was all like - huh. <br />
<br />
I was careful to mark my fishbat from that battle, with "KS" on the handle pommel, so I would be able to find it later. It was well-made, though I don't remember who made it - maybe Charles? That fishbat had other adventures before it was killed in the service of a chivalrous and conscientious fighter I am proud to now call Sir Magnus. <br />
<br />
When the fishbat was no longer fit for duty, I reclaimed it and put it in a reliquary box for permanent display of that time when the banner bearer killed the current sitting King of Trimaris, an already-Duke named Bytor.<br />
<br />
==2002 Gulf Wars XI==<br />
First War! Mississippi. March 2002 <br />
<br />
* Our party was Reid Linneman, Ian Gass, Kevin Wegley, Charles Asbery, Libby Hieber, Bonnie Kaiser, Walter (?).<br />
* Did a lot of wandering around and Waterbearing. I got caught in the rain at one point, and ducked into a Merchant's tent where I bought a brown floppy wool hat for shelter. <br />
* The Ghetto party camped in Army half-shelters: green, low, canvas, triangle-shaped tents. We had (one or two?) spare for armor and overflow supplies. <br />
* The Ghetto-dwellers didn't have a good run of food supplies, so we had to use some creativity to get anemic grilled cheese sandwiches. Maggie shared pancakes at breakfast.<br />
* All of my garb was pulled from then-HL Maggie's closet in the last minute before we headed out. I particularly liked the Mongolian-style tunic.<br />
<br />
Some of the best parts were: <br />
* Driving through the night and catching the sunrise just outside of site. <br />
* Chatting with then-HL Maggie at the Ghetto campfire for hours. <br />
* On the way home, we stopped by Gulfport to hang out on the beach for a little while - until we all got 2nd degree sunburns. <br />
* Then we went to dinner at Randol's in Lafayette, LA with Ian's father.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
==2001 Very First Event== <br />
Ainar and Mercedes' Investiture, at Will Rogers. October 2001<br />
<br />
I wore garb out of the Northkeep loaner box. I loved that dress! It was stretchy - the texture was springy and mesh, entirely see-through. They gave me an electric blue satiny half-slip to wear under it, so I hiked that up like a strapless dress and was perfectly happy with it. You couldn't see the underdress in the fading light - until we took commemorative pics after Feast and the flash made it shine. The photos earlier in the set came out nicely. <br />
<br />
I served Feast and received a strand of black and white freshwater seed pearls as largess. I still have them, and I still daydream about what I'll do with them when I become fancy enough to wear such finery. <br />

==2013 Calontir's Cook's Symposium; Theme: German==<br />
''As posted on the Mooneschadowe list, 4-29-2013, when Jean Paul asked how the event went.''<br />
<br><br />
<br />
I thought was several kinds of awesome. Let me describe the event:<br />
<br><br />
<br />
Friday night is social - people saunter in as their time allows, and since this is a gathering of cooks, someone brings nice wine, someone else has home-brew, someone has a collection of cheeses (some of which may or may not be banned), and someone else has bread. Someone brought a few kinds of jellies including one made with port wine. [edit: I've since heard that this is a fairly rare phenomenon in Calontir, and it is a great honor to be included in the festivities.] When Sabine and I arrived around midnight, the party was fairly quiet in decibel but well attended.<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
The classes on Saturday are a nice blend of hands-on and show and tell. Many classes have a "here, taste this" component when they are not "let me show you this hard-to-find resource." Teaching classes is gratifying because the audience knows how to use the thing you brought as an example of how your recipe can go wrong. :-) Her Majesty Calontir [Catalina] participated in classes and brought grace and beauty to the day. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
Feast is "potluck" in that people bring things that they've made at home or on site in the course of their classes [sausages, some bread, Rumpoldt's apples]. There were several kinds of sausages, lots of breads, exotic desserts, and fancy vegetables (including armored turnips). Everything was tasty and plentiful. And the company was lovely and interesting and engaged. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
I think we'll be better able to tell stories at the Revel - about the Food of the Bayeaux Tapestry [and shown on a large scale in the thread by a person recreating a section], and Nostradamus's opinion of what to do with cherries [mash them into jelly, and make the pulp into fruit leather], and how to start translating German works from the 1400s into tasties to share [most markedly Rumpoldt's work by Mistress Gwen Cat]. <br />

==2012 Eldern Hills Baronial==<br />
Once upon a time at an even not at all far, far away, a lady sat felting while sipping her extraordinary tea. As she sipped her tea, another lady approached carrying a beautiful pie. However, the pie was a vain character and could not stand the idea of anyone enjoying tea while they could be enjoying a delicious slice of pie. So as the lady with the pie began to sit on the ground, the pie launched itself out of the lady's hands and attacked the tea reserves.<br />
<br />
<br />
The tea was taken by surprise. The pie pan crushed the tea's container and began ripping the tea from the container and spreading it upon the ground. The tea screamed and looked upon the pie with tea filled eyes. And sighed a sigh of death. The pie realized what it had done but it was too late. The deed was finished. The pie gave himself to be eaten by the four Iron Artisan competitors to fuel them as they worked.<br />
<br />
<br />
With their bellies full of pie and their minds full of the thoughts of tea, they labored over their work. From the death of the tea rose Fluffy the Buffalo, whose tea soaked fur enables it to defend and protect teas of the world. When a glass of tea is in danger, Fluffy will ride upon his Black Stars to obliterate the pies before the tea can be destroyed. If your tea is ever in danger,<br />
<br />
<br />
Count on Fluffy the Buffalo!<br />
<br><br />
<br />
==2011 Gulf War XX, Horse Waiver, Explained==<br />
''Posted on Facebook: March 21, 2011 at 8:09pm''<br />
<br />
I learned new things about horses this year when I worked a couple midnight-to-6am Troll shifts at War. Everyone on site had to sign a waiver that had to do with horses on site. Cresencia very clearly explained to everyone who visited us what exactly they could expect from the horses.<br />
<br />
* Horses are large and dangerous animals that can and will hurt you.<br />
* When they stand up on their back legs, they aren't trying to give you a high five or a big hug.<br />
* Horses have poor digestion. Anything you give them will ultimately end up half-digested and in the wooded part of the ravine.<br />
* If they ask to borrow your cell phone to make a local call, they'll really use it to call internationally.<br />
* When they offer to valet park your car, they really want to park your car at the bottom of the pond.<br />
* Horses leave road apples as a warning against people (like Cresencia) who spread dissention against horses.<br />
* Despite the name, road apples do NOT taste like apples or anything else good-tasting. <br />
<br />
In case some of this list does not ring true for you, remember that horses beat up the King and Queen of Northshield. The King visited the hospital with some broken ribs and a punctured lung, and the Queen had a bruised tailbone.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== [[Skorragarðr]] (Skorragarrdr) Axeman II, February 2007 ==<br />
This one time, we played an enthusiastic game of 'It'll be horrible, let's do it!'<br />
<br />
[[Skorragarðr]] was having their literal second event, under similar conditions as their first, so we knew to expect: <br />
* Bitter cold<br />
* No shelter (they _did_ have a tent with hot beverages, the second year! we huddled with a space heater for a bit!)<br />
* Primitive amenities (the site had flushies and outdoor showers)<br />
<br />
Yeah, we day-tripped that one, because camping the previous year was a Lesson Learned. <br />
<br />
There were more than 5 Mooneschadin in my party - when we got to site, we dispersed, as a traveling party does. <br />
<br />
My [[Namron]]/ [[Skorragarðr]] friends were up for an adventure, so we hiked the (sodden) fields to see if the rumored horses were friendly. I had trepidation about all that, but I think someone in the party was familiar with the fuzzes - anyway, they were unbothered by our attention as far as we could tell. (I think someone got in trouble about that - oops, and sorry to whomever we gave offense.) <br />
<br />
But my allergies kicked up Something Fierce. After a bit, I'd been sufficiently dreadful to be around that people pooled drugs and blankets and a chair for me. <br />
<br />
One of my Very Most Favorite event photos of me was taken at that event. This was when I knew I could feel at home outside my home group, and in the SCA in general - in this particular vein of "nerd hobby." <br />

==2006 Gulf Wars XV, When the Banner Bearer Killed the King==<br />
''Recounted for Mirela Ra's, via email on 8-14-2015, per her request for stories defining the SCA''<br />

<br />
No kidding there I was, at Gulf Wars 15. I'd gone to a few Fighter Practices, armored up, and got authorized.

The tea screamed and looked upon the pie with tea filled eyes. And sighed a sigh of death. The pie realized what it had done but it was too late. The deed was finished. The pie gave himself to be eaten by the four Iron Artisan competitors to fuel them as they worked.<br />
<br />
<br />
With their bellies full of pie and their minds full of the thoughts of tea, they labored over their work. From the death of the tea rose Fluffy the Buffalo, whose tea soaked fur enables it to defend and protect teas of the world. When a glass of tea is in danger, Fluffy will ride upon his Black Stars to obliterate the pies before the tea can be destroyed. If your tea is ever in danger,<br />
<br />
<br />
Count on Fluffy the Buffalo!<br />

==2011 Gulf War XX, Horse Waiver, Explained==<br />
''Posted on Facebook: March 21, 2011 at 8:09pm''<br />
<br />
I learned new things about horses this year when I worked a couple midnight-to-6am Troll shifts at War. Everyone on site had to sign a waiver that had to do with horses on site. Cresencia very clearly explained to everyone who visited us what exactly they could expect from the horses.<br />
<br />
* Horses are large and dangerous animals that can and will hurt you.<br />
* When they stand up on their back legs, they aren't trying to give you a high five or a big hug.<br />
* Horses have poor digestion. Anything you give them will ultimately end up half-digested and in the wooded part of the ravine.<br />
* If they ask to borrow your cell phone to make a local call, they'll really use it to call internationally.<br />
* When they offer to valet park your car, they really want to park your car at the bottom of the pond.<br />
* Horses leave road apples as a warning against people (like Cresencia) who spread dissention against horses.<br />
* Despite the name, road apples do NOT taste like apples or anything else good-tasting. <br />
<br />
In case some of this list does not ring true for you, remember that horses beat up the King and Queen of Northshield. The King visited the hospital with some broken ribs and a punctured lung, and the Queen had a bruised tailbone.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
==== [[Skorragarðr]] (Skorragarrdr) Axeman II, February 2007 ====<br />
This one time, we played an enthusiastic game of 'It'll be horrible, let's do it!'<br />
<br />
[[Skorragarðr]] was having their literal second event, under similar conditions as their first, so we knew to expect: <br />
* Bitter cold<br />
* No shelter (they _did_ have a tent with hot beverages, the second year! we huddled with a space heater for a bit!)<br />
* Primitive amenities (the site had flushies and outdoor showers)<br />
<br />
Yeah, we day-tripped that one, because camping the previous year was a Lesson Learned. <br />
<br />
There were more than 5 Mooneschadin in my party - when we got to site, we dispersed, as a traveling party does. <br />
<br />
My [[Namron]]/ [[Skorragarðr]] friends were up for an adventure, so we hiked the (sodden) fields to see if the rumored horses were friendly. I had trepidation about all that, but I think someone in the party was familiar with the fuzzes - anyway, they were unbothered by our attention as far as we could tell. (I think someone got in trouble about that - oops, and sorry to whomever we gave offense.) <br />
<br />
But my allergies kicked up Something Fierce. After a bit, I'd been sufficiently dreadful to be around that people pooled drugs and blankets and a chair for me. <br />
<br />
One of my Very Most Favorite event photos of me was taken at that event. This was when I knew I could feel at home outside my home group, and in the SCA in general - in this particular vein of "nerd hobby." <br />
<br />

<br />
==2006 Gulf Wars XV, When the Banner Bearer Killed the King==<br />
''Recounted for Mirela Ra's, via email on 8-14-2015, per her request for stories defining the SCA''<br />
<br />
So this one time!<br />
<br />
No kidding there I was, at Gulf Wars 15. I'd gone to a few Fighter Practices, armored up, and got authorized. I used one of the sets of blue plates that are still in the loaner armor; one of the UBF helms that are spray-painted Mooneschadowe-maroon. I wasn't really ready to commit atrocities, but Charles was the Guard Commander and he gave me a post: I'd carry a banner and fishbat, and I'd stay behind the lines with him, so we could rally our troops during resurrection battles and on the open field. <br />
<br />
Now, Charles made a name for himself at that War for believing in the power of the column charge. Pretty well every time "Lay-on!" was called, he'd order a charge. By the time we got to the Ravine battle, we were dragging but knew the drill - and we'd seen its effectiveness, so we were still heartened for the work. I was still not-quite-impressed with my banner - a 9-foot rattan spear with a huge wind-sail of a leather banner hanging horizontally for maximum wind-catchage, amplified by all the charging. But again - so effective! Our Guard always found each other, and we were an inspiration to our allies and a terror to our foes. <br />
<br />
We charged into battle, I stayed near Charles, or others of the Guard at times when he was taken out, then stood sentinel at Res Point until Charles rallied enough of the Guard (or willing allies) to take a contingent back into the Hell that is the Ravine battle. Time became meaningless and the battle wore on. <br />
<br />
Next thing I remembered, our Guard stood atop a small knoll, facing the opposite direction from which we'd started. I counted four of our Guard in front of me - between me and the mass of ongoing fighting. Next thing I noticed, they were three, then two. I readied the only shot I knew - the only shot I knew I could get anyone to call. <br />
<br />
Last one down, and I saw a huge bear of a man all in white running directly at me, up the hill. I threw that slot shot as hard as I could, not particularly caring if it was an unchivalrous act since my friends were all dead and I intended to make my death count, too. The shot was cleanly thrown when three spear shots landed on my arms. My brain was still too engaged in connecting that shot to yell "good!" - but by the time I managed to react in a visible way to indicate that I acknowledged the shots, I heard sounds of disengaging - laughter, waterbearers on the field, jeers about shots that didn't happen the way someone had wanted - sometimes with hilarious and unreproducible results. <br />
<br />
Our party picked up our gear and pride, and started the trudge home, up the hill behind where we'd taken our last stand. I think someone said we'd won the battle, but at that moment, we would have preferred another skirmish to caring about the results of that one - we all really needed a friggin' sammich. <br />
<br />
Before we got too far up the trail, we were hailed from the main Ravine. King Bytor, current and occasional King of Trimaris, wished to congratulate us on our victory. His excitement was a little incongruous, I'd thought, since his army had just lost - and pretty decisively, I thought I'd heard. But he was completely verklemmt from choking back his joy of a well-fought battle in order to express thanks to us for providing that battle for him. <br />
<br />
As we turned back around to find our freaking sammiches, someone told me that I'd killed the King of Trimaris. And I was all like, naw, man, naw. And they were like, yeah, it was a real thing. And I was all like - huh. <br />
<br />
I was careful to mark my fishbat from that battle, with "KS" on the handle pommel, so I would be able to find it later. It was well-made, though I don't remember who made it - maybe Charles? That fishbat had other adventures before it was killed in the service of a chivalrous and conscientious fighter I am proud to now call Sir Magnus. <br />
<br />
When the fishbat was no longer fit for duty, I reclaimed it and put it in a reliquary box for permanent display of that time when the banner bearer killed the current sitting King of Trimaris, an already-Duke named Bytor.<br />
<br />
==2002 Gulf Wars XI==<br />
First War! Mississippi. March 2002 <br />
<br />
* Our party was Reid Linneman, Ian Gass, Kevin Wegley, Charles Asbery, Libby Hieber, Bonnie Kaiser, Walter (?).<br />
* Did a lot of wandering around and Waterbearing. I got caught in the rain at one point, and ducked into a Merchant's tent where I bought a brown floppy wool hat for shelter. <br />
* The Ghetto party camped in Army half-shelters: green, low, canvas, triangle-shaped tents. We had (one or two?) spare for armor and overflow supplies. <br />
* The Ghetto-dwellers didn't have a good run of food supplies, so we had to use some creativity to get anemic grilled cheese sandwiches. Maggie shared pancakes at breakfast.<br />
* All of my garb was pulled from then-HL Maggie's closet in the last minute before we headed out. I particularly liked the Mongolian-style tunic.<br />
<br />
Some of the best parts were: <br />
* Driving through the night and catching the sunrise just outside of site. <br />
* Chatting with then-HL Maggie at the Ghetto campfire for hours. <br />
* On the way home, we stopped by Gulfport to hang out on the beach for a little while - until we all got 2nd degree sunburns. <br />
* Then we went to dinner at Randol's in Lafayette, LA with Ian's father.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
==2001 Very First Event== <br />
Ainar and Mercedes' Investiture, at Will Rogers. October 2001<br />
<br />
I wore garb out of the Northkeep loaner box. I loved that dress! It was stretchy - the texture was springy and mesh, entirely see-through. They gave me an electric blue satiny half-slip to wear under it, so I hiked that up like a strapless dress and was perfectly happy with it. You couldn't see the underdress in the fading light - until we took commemorative pics after Feast and the flash made it shine. The photos earlier in the set came out nicely. <br />
<br />
I served Feast and received a strand of black and white freshwater seed pearls as largess. I still have them, and I still daydream about what I'll do with them when I become fancy enough to wear such finery. <br />

==2013 Calontir's Cook's Symposium; Theme: German==<br />
''As posted on the Mooneschadowe list, 4-29-2013, when Jean Paul asked how the event went.''<br />
<br><br />
<br />
I thought was several kinds of awesome. Let me describe the event:<br />
<br><br />
<br />
Friday night is social - people saunter in as their time allows, and since this is a gathering of cooks, someone brings nice wine, someone else has home-brew, someone has a collection of cheeses (some of which may or may not be banned), and someone else has bread. Someone brought a few kinds of jellies including one made with port wine. [edit: I've since heard that this is a fairly rare phenomenon in Calontir, and it is a great honor to be included in the festivities.] When Sabine and I arrived around midnight, the party was fairly quiet in decibel but well attended.<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
The classes on Saturday are a nice blend of hands-on and show and tell. Many classes have a "here, taste this" component when they are not "let me show you this hard-to-find resource." Teaching classes is gratifying because the audience knows how to use the thing you brought as an example of how your recipe can go wrong. :-) Her Majesty Calontir [Catalina] participated in classes and brought grace and beauty to the day. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
Feast is "potluck" in that people bring things that they've made at home or on site in the course of their classes [sausages, some bread, Rumpoldt's apples]. There were several kinds of sausages, lots of breads, exotic desserts, and fancy vegetables (including armored turnips). Everything was tasty and plentiful. And the company was lovely and interesting and engaged. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
I think we'll be better able to tell stories at the Revel - about the Food of the Bayeaux Tapestry [and shown on a large scale in the thread by a person recreating a section], and Nostradamus's opinion of what to do with cherries [mash them into jelly, and make the pulp into fruit leather], and how to start translating German works from the 1400s into tasties to share [most markedly Rumpoldt's work by Mistress Gwen Cat]. <br />
<br><br />

==2012 Eldern Hills Baronial==<br />
Once upon a time at an even not at all far, far away, a lady sat felting while sipping her extraordinary tea. As she sipped her tea, another lady approached carrying a beautiful pie. However, the pie was a vain character and could not stand the idea of anyone enjoying tea while they could be enjoying a delicious slice of pie. So as the lady with the pie began to sit on the ground, the pie launched itself out of the lady's hands and attacked the tea reserves.<br />
<br />
<br />
The tea was taken by surprise. The pie pan crushed the tea's container and began ripping the tea from the container and spreading it upon the ground. The tea screamed and looked upon the pie with tea filled eyes. And sighed a sigh of death. The pie realized what it had done but it was too late. The deed was finished. The pie gave himself to be eaten by the four Iron Artisan competitors to fuel them as they worked.<br />
<br />
<br />
With their bellies full of pie and their minds full of the thoughts of tea, they labored over their work. From the death of the tea rose Fluffy the Buffalo, whose tea soaked fur enables it to defend and protect teas of the world. When a glass of tea is in danger, Fluffy will ride upon his Black Stars to obliterate the pies before the tea can be destroyed. If your tea is ever in danger,<br />

== Persona History: ==<br />
[[Category:Persona Stories]]<br />
The Domesday spelling of my linage is 'Bromale", it is the earliest form of name known, and indicates the Saxon origin of my name and family. The word is derived from the Old English 'Brom', meaning broom, and 'Halh', a nook or secret place, probably the water. My family who in early years of Norman rule, made this district their home, and took their name from that place. The founder of the de Bromale family was a follower and distant relation of the Hamon de Messy; the Dunham Massey of Cheshire mentioned in the Domesday Book. The founder of Bromale received his lands in Bramhal as a reward for services rendered.<BR><BR><br />
Under the Rule of Henry II (March 5th, 1133- July 6th, 1189) Matthew de Bromale received confirmations of our lands in Bramhal from Hamon, the second Baron of Dunham Messey, who released him from all services previously rendered, 'except the service of the fee of one breastplate'. The Bromale family was as such, an estate owner in trades of livestock and agriculture. The Bromale family acquired significant wealth,enough to afford the constructing of a grand home.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
My lineage continued as Matthew was succeeded by Richard who accumulated further power to himself when he obtained a grant that his tenants need no longer be tried in the Baron's court in Dunham, but locally in Bramhal. Two more Richards succeeded in the direct line, the last dying without issues. This Richard was succeeded by his younger brother, Geoffrey, who had two daughters, Alice and Ellen. Alice who in 1370 married John de Davenport of Wheltrough, inheriting the Bramhal lands. Upon request of Edward III ( Nov 13th, 1312- June 21st, 1377) the Bromale lineage remain under the title of Bramall. I am the eldest daughter <br />
to John de Davenport, becoming the first of my name. Sam Bramall Davenport.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
My lineage from the Davenport's is as historical as the Bromale. For the Davenport family of Cheshire traces its decent from Orm de Davenport who lived during the time of William the Conqueror (1028-September 9th, 1087.) Orm de Davenport took his name from 'Daven-port,' the 'town of the trickling stream' where he lived. Davenport resides along the River Dane a few miles north-west of Congleton. My father's family is wealthy landowners. In the year of 1255 the office grand serjent of the forest of Macclesfield was granted to Vivian Davenport, the head of family, and it is to this office, which became hereditary, that the <br />
Davenports have always attributed the felon's head crest which surmounts our shield of arms.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
Our family suits of arms usually signify the absolute power of life and death which the grand serjent held within the forest. The serjent duties is to search out and hang the robbers lurking within its boundaries. As the eldest daughter these duties will never be my own, so I did not wish to hold such a sinister device of arms. Though as a matter of principal my father commissioned two great heads of stone be added to my mother's estate. Each bearing a halter around it's neck, surmounting the gatepost at the southern end of the drive, loftily surveying all comers, and claiming the Davenport ownership of the grounds.<br />

Sam Bramall-Davenport - Project 1.jpg|This is a large Centurian cloak that I made for a wonderful fighter named Skeggi. The main body of the cloak is dense red wool. The eagle itself is dense felted wool that was cut and needle felted to its an intended form and shape. Once the desired shape was obtained, I embroidered the main body of the eagle in a combination of satin stitches, split stitches, and herringbone stitch.<br />
Sam Bramall-Davenport Project 2.jpg|The swan is a wood burnt piece that I made for [[Annabelle Fitzsimmons]] as a sable swap gift. I adore the sable swap program and encourage any artisan in the land to participate. Annabelle is very interested in bardic activities. For my gift, I burned the image of the swan on a pine board then mounted a clip on the back so she could decoratively hold her papers while performing. <br />
Sam Bramall-Davenport Project 3.jpg|The raven banner is a very large piece that I painted for the laurel elevation of vigdis. For any who attended they may have seen it on the back of her A-frame tent and served as a nice backdrop during her discussions while on vigil. <br />
Sam Bramall-Davenport Project 4.jpg|The blackwork image is a panel from a sleeve I am currently working on. Once complete I hope to have an Elizabethan riding coat completely covered in this intricate blackwork design, and pattern. The main body of the piece is of medium weight linen with the embroidery itself being constructed of fine wool threading. The design is inspired by an Elizabethan blackwork jacket that was constructed in the late 1500s. <br />
Sam Bramall-Davenport Project 5.jpg|The pelican piece is a hangerock I made for [[Kyna Terricsdottir]]'s elevation. The main body of the hangerock is constructed of herringbone wool. For the primary image, I drew a pelican and her young on a dense piece of felted wool. Once my general shape and design were obtained I embroidered the details of the piece using a combination of embroidery stitches that were believed to be used during her persona time period. <br />

[[Category:PPI]]One time, I was hanging out with Kolfinna. All of the sudden, she looks up in to the sky and yells “Why oh why?” I asked her what she was talking about, and she said “I just want to know why the chicken crossed the road!” I looked at her, she looked at me, and we continued walking down the road. What an odd duck she is.<BR><br />

[[Category:PPI]]Kolfinna supports the dream in everyone, whatever their specific interests. She is wise in the ways she suggests you not pressure yourself to partake of sub-hobbies that don't turn out to be fun for you. She is also willing to do the work when work needs to be done. The SCA is better for having her in it. She is one of the most truly authentic people I have had the pleasure to know.<br />
