House Rookery
About the Household
House Rookery is a Service Minded Household that volunteers to support and continue the Dream of the SCA. To mentor and guide other service minded individuals to reach their full potential as Servants to their Barony, Kingdom and the Society.
History
House Rookery was in development for over a year, and formally organized on January 20, 2020. The founders of the household were all members of the Barony of Namron’s Hospitaler Team. Through serving on this team, they discovered a love of serving their Barony and Kingdom and wanted to form a household that upholds and encourages volunteering.

Heraldry
The household name is in honor of Ragnar Kelson of Durham’s spirit animal- The Raven. The founders discussed the many names of ravens i.e. convocati, murder, etc. but settled on rookery because that is where ravens nest. The three ravens represent the three founders.
