I know you had good intentions when you editted [[Households]], but see [[talk:Households]]. - [[User:Cian|Cian Gillebhrath]]

Hence returning it back to what it was shortly after. ;)

Sorry, still getting used to how a Wiki works.

* That's okay, I uploaded your initial edits but didn't get to read them for a few minutes. Log in, edit a few articles, write some new ones. Watch pedants like me change the formatting to match every other page :^) A good page to play around with to your heart's content is [[Cunnan:sandbox]]. Go to [[Cunnan:how_to_edit_a_page]] for formatting etc tips. - [[User:Cian|Cian Gillebhrath]] 14:51, 8 September 2006 (EST)

Thankyou... I have added myself a user... though I didn't quite get it right. :( Ahh well... Username is Svenn_inn_kyrri however the second N in Svenn shouldn't be there... or is it the first one? I can never tell. ;) Anyway, I have learnt my lesson and shall from now on read the discussion first. ;)

== Drakkar ([[ship]]) ==
A '''Drakkar''' is a type of [[viking]] [[longship]]. It can be used as a [[heraldic]] [[charge]] in the [[SCA]] (e.g. the [[device]] for the [[Barony of Stormhold]]).

== House Drakkar ([[Household]]) ==

[[Image:http://www.drakkar.org.au/images/stories/small%20logo.png]]

'''House Drakkar''' is a [[Viking]] [[mercenary]] group based in [[Rowany]], [[Lochac]]. It is predominantly a [[light]] skirmish company in [[Lochac]].

Their motto: ''Damnate Gloriam, tradite pecuniam''
(damn the glory, take the [[money]])

They have no set fee but work on a offer system where none of the bidders know the other bidders or amounts offered. Offers of [[blunt]]s, [[alcohol]], [[armour]], trinkets, etc. will be entertained at catered [[event]]s, whilst at non-catered events, feeding them for the duration is most acceptable. No bids of lands or [[rank]] requiring allegiance will be accepted.

60.229.84.172: Reinserted House Woodrose comment after reading discussion. Will leave it up to them to remove.

'''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, and the Household of [[Csikós Ló]] sponsors various heraldic-based membership scholarships.

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.

In [[Ealdormere]] notable households include: [[House DeTaahe]], [[House Galbraith]], and [[House Rivenheart]]. As in most kingdoms there are many, many others.

In the [[Outlands]] the oldest [[Pirate]] [[ship]] in the SCA, the [[Barking Spyder]], docks in the [[Barony of al-Barran]].

There are also a number of inter-kingdom households with members who live and participate in more than one kingdom, such as the [[Rozakii]], Timberwolf, and [[Adlersburg]] households.
