''' Clan Blue Feather''' is a large open [[household]] within the [[SCA]] dedicated to [[education]] and research on [[homosexuality]] in the [[Middle Ages]] and the [[Renaissance]], and to teach other members of the [[Society]] about homosexuality in the [[Current Middle Ages]].

The Clan also exists as a social organization, to facilitate interaction among the [[member]]s of the SCA, especially those who are gay, lesbian, or bisexual.

The [[College of Arms|registered]] [[badge]] of the Clan is ''[[Argent]], a [[feather]] [[azure]]''. By [[custom]] and [[tradition]], LGBT members of the Clan wear a badge with a '''dark blue feather''', while straight family, friends and supporters wear a '''light blue feather'''. Simply wearing a blue-dyed feather '''IS NOT''' an identifying mark.

The Clan has a [[Royal]]ly [[charter]]ed [[Guild]] in the [[Kingdom of East|East Kingdom]].

'''Great Western War''' (or '''GWW''') is an annual [[SCA]] [[war]] held in the [[Kingdom of Caid]] in the [[Barony of Dreiburgen]] during early October.

Depending on the year's attendance, it is probably the fourth largest war in the SCA, following [[Pennsic War]], [[Estrella War]], and [[Gulf Wars]].

GWW does not have set sides, but instead divides the [[Royal]] [[Army]] of Caid with the foreign guests to make sure the sides are even.

Live roleplaying

'''Live roleplaying''' is really just another way of describing an impromptu and scriptless form of [[theatre|acting]]. Each player has a character or role and they must play out how this person would repond in certain environments and conversations. A defining feature of roleplaying is the existence of a scenario of some kind which the players or participants must address. There are various areas that require live [[roleplaying]]:
* ''Live Roleplaying'' - generally referred to as "LARP", "LRP" or "freeform roleplaying" ([[Australia]]). Various gaming systems have rules that require the players to move about in order to achieve objectives and gather information. Combat is simulated through non-physical means. More information about these sorts of games can be found at the [http://larpaweb.net/news.php LARPA Homepage].
** ''Workplace training'' - A variation of live roleplaying used in a business situation. Employees are given fictional positions and roles and presented with various scenarios to see how they would respond.
* ''Live Action Roleplaying'' - also (confusingly) referred to as "LARP" or "LRP". These involve combat using latex or boffer style weapons. They generally also involve simulated spells. In [[England]] the number of LARPer's outnumbers the [[SCA]], but in [[Australia]] the reverse is true. There is some cross-over of membership between these groups at times.

[[Recreationist]]s and [[Reenactor]]s tend not to refer to their activities as roleplaying, preferring re-creation or re-enactment. The main distinction is that there is no moderator or game master in these types of groups and no overall scenario or plot.

The suite of '''mixed branles''', is a suite of five dances from ''[[Orchesography]]''. These dances were not presented as a suite in the source, but are sometimes done as a suite to take the place of suites referred to in Orchesography where some of the tunes and choreographies are not given. In [[Lochac]] the are sometime referred to as '''The Cut Branles'''. The suite does not require the dancers to be paired off, and so may be danced with any number of people.

==The Dances==

* [[Cassandra Branle]]
* [[Pinagay Branle]]
* [[Charlotte Branle]]
* [[War Branle]]
* [[Aridan Branle]]
