House DeTaahe

69.158.1.207:

House DeTaahe is the personal [[household]] of [[His Grace]] [[Finvvarr de Taahe]], [[KSCA]], [[OL]], [[OP]]. It was originally founded by Finnvarr and his brother, and has grown over the years to a very great size. So large in fact, that it is more often now called Greater House DeTaahe as more and more of Finnvarr's former dependents become [[Peers]] in their own rights, taking their own [[dependents]].

== Badge ==
The [[household]] [[badge]] is: [[azure]] and [[or]] [[counterchanged]], a [[mullet]] of six points [[or]].

== Some Descendents of House DeTaahe ==
[[House Blackcloak]], personal [[household]] of [[Sir]] Mordain Blackcloak, former [[squire]] to Finnvarr 
[[House Sternstaub]], personal [[household]] of [[Sir]] Siegfried Brandbeorn, former [[squire]] to Finnvarr

Trillium War

2006-05-21T13:46:43Z

69.158.1.207:

Hosted by the [[Canton]] of [[Ardchreag]] this annual event held on the Canada Day long weekend) has undergone many changes throughout its lifetime. Originally begun as [[Septentrian] War Practice, it was changed to [[Ealdormere]] War Practice (or, as it was more normally called, EWP).

In 2005, the event stewards maintained that the kingdom had had enough practice, and that it was time for the real deal. [[War of the Trillium]] (sometimes also called Trillium War) was born.

The event is a camping event that usually lasts between four and five days. Usual activities include [[armoured combat]], [[fencing]], [[archery]], [[thrown weapons]], [[merchanting]] and [[bardic circles]]. [[House Galbraith]] celebrates its anniversary at WoT, and hosts a large party on the Saturday night of the event.

A theme is picked for each year (such as [[Early Period]] vs. [[Late Period]]), with energetic members of the kingdom's populace selected to act as leaders for each side. [[Mistress AElfwyn of Longwood]], the Captain of the [[Early Period]] in 2005, was especially enthusiastic, making campaign posters plastered about the event site, singing slogans and actively campaigning for supports.

The event has always been held at Heber Down Conservation Area in Whitby, Ontario, [[Canada]], except for 2003 and 2004, when it had to move to nearby Omeemee due to booking conflicts.

Kingdom of Ealdormere

2006-05-21T13:45:36Z

69.158.1.207: /* Events */

{{SCA Kingdom box|name = Ealdormere|color = red|metal = white|device = [[Image:Ealdormere.png|150 pix]] | caption = [[Gules]], a trillium flower [[affronty]] [[argent]], [[barbed]] [[vert]], within a [[laurel wreath]], in [[chief]] a [[coronet]] [[argent]]. | founded = A.S. XXXIII | king = Aaron Preslee Worgenson | queen = Rustique du Sorde | area = Ontario, Canada.| parent = Middle}}

Encompassing most of the province of Ontario, [[Canada]], '''Ealdormere''' became the sixteenth [[kingdom]] of the [[Known World]] in October, [[A.S. 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]].

Ealdormere's symbols are the Trillium (a three-pointed white flower common to the region) and the [[wolf]]. Ealdormereans often use the term "the [[Northlands]]" as a synonym for Ealdormere (this is possibly a reference to the Canadian national anthem, or to the local popularity of [[Norse]] personas).

By long tradition, Ealdormere often fights alongside the Kingdom of the [[Middle]] in the [[Pennsic]] War under their own banners.

== History ==
'''Early Days'''

In [[A.S. IX]], then-[[Count]] [[Finnvarr de Taahe]] and others founded the [[Canton]] of [[Eoforwic]] in Toronto. This was the first [[SCA]] group in to be founded in [[Canada]], and grew quickly. In [[A.S. XII]], the [[Shire|Shires]] of [[Septentria]] and [[Skraeling Althing]] (both now [[barony|baronies]]) are founded.

'''The Ban on Regions'''

The '''[[Ban on Regions]]''', also known as '''King Alen's Ban''' or '''Alen's Proscription''', was an edict published in the April A.S. XX edition of the [[Pale]] forbidding the use of local "regional" 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 "regionalism" in the [[Midrealm]]. Directed specifically against Ealdormere, the Ban had a great impact on Ealdormeran culture and history.

''[[Ban on Regions|More information at the "Ban on Regions"]]

'''Crown Principality'''

In [[A.S. XXVI]], the first Army of Ealdormere, under Prince David I and Princess Tangwystl, marched to the [[Pennsic|Pennsic War]] alongside the army of [[Calontir]]. Ealdormere has sent an army to Pennsic under its own banners every year since.

'''Kingdom'''

Ealdormere became the the sixteenth kingdom of the [[Known World]] in October, [[A.S. XXXIII]] with the crowning of King [[David the Greater]], and Queen [[Elina de Braose]]. The full lineage of the Kings and Queens of Ealdormere is detailed in the [[Line of the North]].

The rousing ballad [http://www.bards.ca/songbooks/hector/Rise.htm Rise] by Master [[Hector of the Black Height]] is viewed as the unofficial anthem of the Kingdom of Ealdormere.

In [[A.S. XL]], King Aaron issued a request at his [[coronation]] directed specifically at the [[Fighting Households of Ealdormere]], encouraging them to make and wear [[tabard]]s bearing the Kingdom's arms in time for the [[Pennsic War]]. Previous to this request, these [[Household]]s had worn their own arms, often to the exclusion of all others. His Majesty explained the request as an effort to promote Ealdormere's arms and reputation to the rest of the Known World.

Households

2006-05-21T13:25:42Z

69.158.1.207:

'''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.

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