'''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 "[[membership|membership requirements]]" 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.

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 "family" and the group the [[village]]/[[hamlet]] that you live in.

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!

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&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).

Other better known households in the [[Kingdom of Lochac]] include [[Attica]], [[Drakkar]], [[DX]], and [[Descartes]].

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.

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]].

In [[Ansteorra]], [[House Arkham]] is a democratic group loosely based on medieval merchant Guilds/Households. Their interests are [[Archery]] (target and combat), Service, A&S, Merchanting, Siege and whatever else strikes their interests.

4.227.44.241: Ni!

In the [[SCA]] '''Nee!''' is considered to be an impolite word, if only because it causes spontaneous recitals of [[Monty Python]] skits in otherwise sane [[SCAdians]]

This is a pretty common misspelling. According to the offical script it is actually spelled, "Ni!" which all serious Monty Python fans already know. :)
