==== [[Skorragarðr]] (Skorragarrdr) Axeman II, February 2007 ====
This one time, we played an enthusiastic game of 'It'll be horrible, let's do it!'


[[Skorragarðr]] was having their literal second event, under similar conditions as their first, so we knew to expect:
[[Elsa's Event Write-Ups]]
* Bitter cold
* No shelter (they _did_ have a tent with hot beverages, the second year! we huddled with a space heater for a bit!)
* Primitive amenities (the site had flushies and outdoor showers)
 
Yeah, we day-tripped that one, because camping the previous year was a Lesson Learned.
 
There were more than 5 Mooneschadin in my party - when we got to site, we dispersed, as a traveling party does.
 
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.)
 
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.
 
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."

Persona History:

As written for the Sable Swap:
Elsa was born in Germany to a family of lesser nobility who discarded their honors in sympathy with the Hussite Rebellion (c. 1410 CE). Suddenly dispossessed, Elsa (somehow) met and fell in love with a Milanese (c. 1450 CE) soldier, and married him when he became a Centurion and therefore able to support her studies as an Apprentice.

Born in 15c Germany.
Learned diverse textile arts from friends in my early days in Mooneschadowe (2005).
Apprenticed to a Dane/Saxon Silversmith of the Kudzu (October 2009).
