If you are given permission to handle someone's weapon, be aware that the oils on your fingers can cause damage to a metal blade, and hold the weapon only by the hilt (unless the owner instructs you otherwise).<br /> <br /> The only exceptions to the first rule are:<br /> #In honour of the [[crown]]<br /> #Displaying the [[blade]] (&quot;[[clear|Clear!]]&quot; must be called before doing this to let surrounding people know what you're doing)<br /> <br /> Many 'real' swords owned by [[SCAdian]]s are more decorative than functional. These types of &quot;[[weapons]]&quot; are sometimes referred to as [[sword like objects]] or SLO's and are generally owned by those using swords as a costume accessory, as an unsharpened sword is much safer and more practical for this purpose.<br /> <br /> At the same time, there are some true weapons enthusiasts in the SCA and other groups, with an interest in determining the actual capabilities of weapons. As such [[test cutting]] of weapons has increased in the last decade. These tests are aimed at assessing claims of the types and amounts of damage that can be delivered by weapons to both organic and inorganic targets. <br /> <br /> <br /> [[category:SCA]]<br /> [[category:weapons]]</div>

<p>130.113.100.238: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Thorbjorn Osis Brandsson''' was a notable [[SCAdian]] who dwelt in what would become the [[Kingdom of Ealdormere]]. His full title was [[Duke]] [[Sir]] Thorbjorn Osis Brandsson, having been in his time [[King]] of the [[Midrealm]] twice and [[Prince]] and King of Ealdormere. He was knighted in [[A.S. XXVIII]] by King Jafar of the Middle Kingdom.<br /> <br /> Sir Thorbjorn is mentioned extensively in the [[Chronicles of Eoforwic]], having been active in that [[canton]] for many years, although originally under the name '''Osis of the Livery'''. It was rumoured widely that his [[addubment]] was withheld by the [[Chivalry]] for years until he styled himself differently. An amusing anecdote in the Fifth [[Book]] of the Chronicles details how Sir Thorbjorn &quot;discovered&quot; his first name and was promptly [[knight]]ed for it. This anecdote has a kernel of truth in it, however the actual situation was much more complicated as one might imagine.<br /> <br /> Sir Thorbjorn's second [[reign]] in the Midrealm was notable for the way it started, being the first reign after the [[Interregnum]] of [[A.S. XXX]]. Thorbjorn was also the first Midrealm king to require all three [[order]]s of [[peer|peerage]], the [[Royal Peers]] and the [[Baron|Baronage]] to formally swear [[fealty]] to the [[throne]] at the start of his reign; such formal [[homage]] had previously been done only by the [[Chivalry]].<br /> <br /> Sir Thorbjorn's [[blazon]] is: &lt;br&gt;<br /> :''[[Argent]] a [[wolf]]'s head [[cabossed]] on a [[chief]] [[embattled]] [[sable]] three [[cup]]s [[argent]].''<br /> <br /> Duke Sir Thorbjorn passed away in [[A.S. XXXIV]] while King of Ealdormere.

<p>130.113.100.238: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Households''' are groups within the [[SCA]], usually based around an interest in certain areas of SCA endeavour, or friendship groups (or both!). Sometimes a [[peer]] will form a household that includes his/her [[apprentice]]s/[[protege]]s/[[squire]]s. Unlike other [[groups]], such as a [[barony]], Households aren't based on geography (although members of a household may be from a particular geographical area), they are not official [[groups]] of the [[Society]], and any &quot;[[membership|membership requirements]]&quot; of a household are at the discretion of the household. A household cannot hold official meetings or [[events]], but they are more than welcome to run events on behalf of the official group. They may include or exclude anybody they like, whereas an official group cannot do this.<br /> <br /> They can be a great support network, and often the activities of the household will extend beyond SCA. Another way to look at it is that a household is your &quot;family&quot; and the group the [[village]]/[[hamlet]] that you live in. <br /> <br /> You do not have to be a part of any household, and just because someone is a part of a particular household does not mean that you can't hang out with them. You can even start your own household if you want to!<br /> <br /> Examples of households in and around [[Stormhold]] include [[House Reverie]] (based around Sir [[Antoine le Reveur]] and his squires), House [[Woodrose]] (mainly an [[Arts and Sciences]] household of old broken down hacks encumbered by offspring with a few who pretend to fight once in a while when the injuries and venerability allow), Unnamed (another mostly A&amp;S household) and [[the Axemen]] (a fighting household that is mostly demographically based around younger members with a few old, wise heads attempting to control the chaos).<br /> <br /> Other better known households in the [[Kingdom of Lochac]] include [[Attica]], [[Drakkar]], [[DX]], and [[Descartes]].<br /> <br /> Over in [[Drachenwald]], the [[Brighthelm]] household claim to be a 'hive of scum and villainy' who are always found as far from high table as possible in spite of having as members a number of local, regional and [[kingdom]] [[officer]]s.<br /> <br /> In [[Gleann Abhann]], [[Clan Marshin Fayne]] is a collection of five households: [[House Smoking Tankard]], [[House Storm]], The [[Barra Export Company]] (Ship's Company), [[House Ishee]], and [[House Golden Panther]]. They are held together under the twin bounds of [[service]] and [[revelry|revelrie]]. <br /> <br /> In [[Ansteorra]], [[House Arkham]] is a democratic group loosely based on medieval merchant Guilds/Households. Their interests are [[Archery]] (target and combat), Service, A&amp;S, Merchanting, Siege and whatever else strikes their interests.<br /> <br /> In [[Ealdormere]] notable households include: [[House DeTaahe]], [[House Galbraith]], and [[House Rivenheart]]. As in most kingdoms there are many, many others.<br /> <br /> There are also a number of inter-kingdom households with members who live and participate in more than one kingdom, such as the Rozakii and Timberwolf households.<br /> <br /> '''For a larger listing of Lochac households, see [[Groups in Lochac]].'''<br /> <br /> [[category:households (SCA)]]</div>

<p>130.113.100.238: </p> <hr /> <div>The Patent of Arms is the highest [[armigerous award]] in the [[SCA]]. It is only bestowed when a person is admitted to the [[Order of Chivalry]], the [[Order of the Laurel]], the [[Order of the Pelican]], the [[Order of the Rose]] or becomes a [[Royal Peer]]. A person holding a Patent of Arms is known as a [[peer]].<br /> <br /> A patent of arms allows the bearer to display their arms with a crest (a helm above the arms) and standard (a pair of figures to either side of the arms holding them up - usually an animal like a lion rampant).<br /> <br /> See also [[Society level award]].<br /> [[category:awards]]</div>

<p>130.113.100.238: </p> <hr /> <div>The '''Grant of Arms''' (GoA) is a [[society level award]] with a rank between that of a [[Patent of Arms]] and an [[Award of Arms]]. Some awards automatically confer a Grant of Arms upon their award. These are known as [[grant level award]]s. Although a Grant of Arms may be awarded on its own, it is more common for it to be received as part of a grant level award.<br /> <br /> The [[arms]] of the recipient may be augmented with a crest (a helm displayed above the arms). In some Kingdoms, the style of the crest is specified in Kingdom law. For example, in Caid, the device of someone with a GoA may be [[augmentation|augmented]] with a a non-metallic black or steel-grey [[helm]]et. This award also conveys the [[title]] of Lordship or Ladyship, or The Honorable Lord/Lady, these titles are used more frequently in some [[Kingdoms]] than in others.<br /> [[category:awards]]</div>

<p>130.113.100.238: </p> <hr /> <div>The '''Award of Arms''', often shortened to '''AoA''', is an [[SCA]] [[society level award]] (ie. it carries from [[kingdom]] to kingdom). It bestows the recipient with the 'right' to display their [[arms]] and to put the title [[Lord]] or [[Lady]] in front of their [[SCA name]].<br /> <br /> As the [[Order of Precedence|lowest society award]], it is not hard to earn. It is commonly bestowed upon those who the [[Crown]] or [[Coronet]] find has enriched the quality of the [[Game]] for others. This could range from working in the kitchen at major [[feast]]s, always helping clean-up after [[event]]s, helping to train others in [[combat]] or [[arts and sciences]], to greatly adding to the [[medieval]] atmosphere at events.

Geographically it consists of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and a nip of Iowa, and a bit of Ontario. Midrealm used to contain what are now the [[Kingdoms of Northshield]], Ealdormere, and Calontir.<br /> <br /> == History of the Midrealm ==<br /> The '''Middle Kingdom''' was originally a [[principality]] of the [[East Kingdom|East]] called The Principality Under the Mountain. In 1969, the legendary [[Cariadoc of the Bow]] won the first [[Crown Tourney]] of the Middle and was subsequently [[crown]]ed the first king.<br /> <br /> The Capital Provence (that being its proper name for some time) became [[Treegirtsea]], located in Chicago. Soon afterwards, the [[Barony of North Woods]], located in Michigan, joined. These two form the basis of Middle Kingdom politics. A third group in Ohio, The [[Middle Marches]], joined and membership soon spread out into Canada, Kentucky, and the rest of the Midwest.<br /> <br /> On October 16th, 2004, the Principality of Northshield gained Kingdom status. In early September 2004, a poll across the Middle began. It debates whether or not the [[Oaken Region]] (Ohio and Kentucky) should gain Principality status. As of September 4th, the poll has since ended, since it generated great discussions, arguments, and debates.

Organized primarily as a [[melee]] tournament, Winter War attracts many [[households]] which specialize in melee combat, such as [[House Blacksword]] and [[House Rozakii]]. The event, now in its seventh year, also features [[boffer]] and [[rapier]] combat, as well as a large [[merchant]]'s area.<br /> <br /> Because it is a melee tournament, many [[fighter]]s regard Winter War as an opportunity to fight in a less [[chivalry|chivalrous]] manner than is customary in the [[SCA]], which has caused controversy in the past.

<p>130.113.100.238: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Storming of the Gate''' is a small [[SCA]] camping [[event]] held on the private land belonging to Lord [[Justinian Clarus]] in the [[Shire of Trinovantia Nova]] in the [[Kingdom of Ealdormere]]. Now in its tenth year, the full name of the event is '''The Annual Syr [[David the Greater|David Martin Failsworth]] Memorial Storming of the Great Gate Fight Practice, Pot Luck, and Pool Party'''. Occuring every summer for the past decade, SOG primarily draws [[Ealdormere|Ealdormereans]] from the Shire of Trinovantia Nova, the [[Barony of Ramshaven]], the [[Barony of Ben Dunfirth]] and warriors from the [[Midrealm]] [[Barony of Starleaf Gate]]. <br /> <br /> SOG revolves around a series of assaults on the Great Gate at the edge of the property, along with [[woods battle]]s in the woodlot nearby. The [[armoured combat]] [[melee]]s are often held between [[House Blacksword]] and the [[Rozakii]].<br /> <br /> Owing to the popularity of [[fencing]] in the Shire, there has been a fencing tournament held in recent years at SOG, and there are also several assaults and defenses on the gate by fencers. <br /> <br /> After the fighting is finished, the traditional [[hot tub|brass hat soup]], [[barbeque]] and [[campfire]] occurs. Because Trinovantia Nova is a [[shire]] and not a [[barony]], there is no baronial court. There is also no formal [[feast]] at this event. Storming of the Gate is known across Ealdormere as being a [[very wet]] event, and events around the fire include traditional [[medieval]] [[singing]], [[drinking]], and [[wenching]].<br /> <br /> <br /> [http://www.sca.london.on.ca/Storming.asp| Storming of the Gate webpage]<br /> <br /> [[category:events]]</div>

XXXIII]] (1998). Before this, from [[A.S. XXIII]] (1988) to [[A.S. XXXIII]], Ealdormere was a [[principality]] of the [[Midrealm]], encompassing several pre-existing [[baronies]].<br /> <br /> Ealdormere's symbols are the Trillium (a three-pointed white flower common to the region) and the [[wolf]]. Ealdormereans often use the term &quot;the [[Northlands]]&quot; as a synonym for Ealdormere (this is possibly a reference to the Canadian national anthem, or to the local popularity of [[Norse]] personas).<br /> <br /> By long tradition, Ealdormere often fights alongside the Kingdom of the [[Middle]] in the [[Pennsic]] War under their own banners.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> '''Early Days'''<br /> <br /> In [[A.S.

XX edition of the [[Pale]] forbidding the use of local &quot;regional&quot; organizations beyond those [[Shire]]s and [[Barony|Baronies]] recognized by the [[Crown]]. Combined with a change in [[Middle Kingdom]] law raising the requirements for becoming a [[Principality]], the Ban was punitive measure attempting the halt the growth of &quot;regionalism&quot; in the [[Midrealm]]. Directed specifically against Ealdormere, the Ban had a great impact on Ealdormeran culture and history.<br /> <br /> ''[[Ban on Regions|More information at the &quot;Ban on Regions&quot;]]<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Crown Principality'''<br /> <br /> In [[A.S.
