Lostinruins:

The '''College of St Basil the Great''' is the name of the [[SCA]] [[group]] at the [[University]] of [[Western Australia]] in [[Perth]], [[Australia]]. The [[College]] is part of the [[Barony of Aneala]] in the [[Kingdom of Lochac]]. It was started in [[A.S. XXXVI]] ([[2001]]) and currently has about 30 [[member]]s. Within the University it is sometimes called the '''UWASCA''' or the '''UWA Medieval Society'''.

The current [[seneschal]] is Señor Isidro Garcia de Montoya.

Their device is ''Per chevron throughout argent and sable, two towers fracted sable and on an open book argent a laurel wreath sable.'' [[File:2022 Device Saint Basil the Great.png|thumb|alt=Current device for the College of St Basil the Great]]

Their battle cry is "Boom Boom", a pun on Basil Brush, a fox of impeccable humour. There are also references to crossed cannons (for the same fox), a broken tower (referring to Faulty Towers) and the motto "discere, vel mori" which translates to "Learn or Die".

== History ==

The College of St Basil the Great was initially formed by Jochen Schwalbe in A.S. XXXVI. The list of Seneschals with their official Seneschal nicknames where applicable are:

* Froggie
* Jochen Schwalbe
* Allesandra
* Leoflaeda Aelfwyns Dohtir from May 2004
* Prospero from August 2005

* Angelo Niccolo da Prato - Basil Daddy
* Hob Gob-Lin - Hat Guy
* Isidro Garcia de Montoya - lowercase seneschal

There is a long [[History of Devices]] which is really worth reading when someone writes it.

Collegic relics

Lostinruins: /* The College of St Monica */

Like other SCA groups, colleges tend to collect special items over time. Below is a list of various known collegic relics, ordered by location.
== Lochac Colleges ==
* The Sword of Knowledge and/or Truth - the most holy relic of the Colleges of Lochac. The possession of this sword is fought over every year at [[Inter-College War]], it is awarded to the victor.

=== The College of St Ursula ===
* The One True Carrot

=== The College of St Monica ===
* St Monican doll
* The Cock of Richard Cockburne - A drawing of a rooster head on cardboard. It was drawn by Joanna of Braidwood and signed by Richard Cockburne, before being affixed to his cardboard boat, the Double Entendre, where it engaged in a high seas (backyard) water fight, and was the last cardboard boat standing. The cock head upon the prow was ripped off and placed upon the wall of the Scout hall where the Barony holds its meetings, where it remained for many months. Then it was taken on pilgrimage to the [[Barony of Aneala]], visited the mundane location of Cockburne, was signed by the then King of Lochac, Jochen "the Rockin" Schwalbe, and also the purportedly gayest [[College of St Basil the Great|Basilisk]].

Inter-College War

2024-07-10T00:54:12Z

Lostinruins:

'''Inter-College War (ICW)''' is an annual [[SCA]] [[event]] in [[Lochac]] at which all the [[College]]s of the kingdom meet for 4 days of [[camping]] (well actually indoors bunkhouses are usually provided), [[war]], [[drinking]], [[fighting]], drinking, [[feasting]], drinking, fighting, tomfoolery... etc. Each year a different University hosts ICW, and it's generally held during the midsemester break - perfect timing for the middle of [[winter]]! It can be a very amusing event, very rowdy, and tons of fun. To give you some idea, think of a large congregation of [[university]] students from all across [[Australia]] in [[garb]] and [[armour]] attempting to recreate pre-[[16th century]], ultimately resulting in much entertainment, new friends, incriminating photos and an extraordinary hangover.
 

ICW began in June [[A.S. XXIX]] ([[1994]]), as a challenge between [[College of St Aldhelm|St Aldhelm]] and [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]] during "The Defense of The [[Realm]]", an event held at the [[Crossroads]] site in [[Torlyon]].
 

1994 *ICW I - Held by St Aldhelm - sword of knowledge 
1995 *ICW II - Held at [[Torlyon]], [[Amesbury]] (later to become [[College of St Augustine]]) won. 
1996 *ICW III - Held at the old [[Rowany Festival]] site by [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]], [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]] won. 
1997 *ICW IV - Held in [[Innilgard]] by [[Blessed Herman]], [[Blessed Herman]] won. Also won Gui's buttocks. 
1998 *ICW V - Held in [[Innilgard]] by [[Blessed Herman]], [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]] won. Gui's buttocks were presented by St Ursula to [[Blessed Herman]]. 
1999 *ICW VI - Held in [[Politarchopolis]] by [[College of St Aldhelm|St Aldhelm]], [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]] won. 
2000 *ICW VII - Held in [[Ynys Fawr]] by [[St Gildas]], [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]] won. 
2001 *ICW VIII - Held in [[Agaricus]] by [[College of St Malachy|St Malachy]], [[Blessed Herman]] won. 
2002 *ICW IX - Held in [[Innilgard]] by [[Blessed Herman]], [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]] won. 
2003 *ICW X - Held in [[Politarchopolis]] by [[St Aldhelm]]. The beginning of the curse of ICW. 
2004 *ICW XI - Held in [[Krae Glas]] by [[College of St Monica|St Monica]] from July 8 - 12, [[A.S. XXXIX]] ([[2004]]), [[Blessed Herman]] won. Also known as Soup War. 
2005 *ICW XII - Held by [[St Ursula]]. No victor recorded. 
2006 *ICW XIII - Held by [[College of St Crispin]]. Won by [[College of St Aldhelm]] 
2007 *ICW XIV - N/A 
2008 *ICW XIV.5 - Held by [[College of St Aldhelm]] who ended the curse. [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]] won. 
2009 *ICW XV - Held by [[College of St Bartholomew]]. [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]] won. 
2010 *ICW XVI - Held by [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]]. Won by [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]] 
2011 *ICW XVII- Held by [[College of St Gildas the Wise]], Won by [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]] 
2012 *ICW XVIII - Held by [[College of St Aldhelm]]. Won by [[College of St Andronicus]], who "lost" the sword at [[Rowany Festival]]. Sword "Rescued" by [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]] 
2014 *ICW XIX - Held by [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]] in [[Rowany]]. Won by [[College of St Ursula|St Ursula]]. Sword reappeared on last night, then lost in a broom closet, where it was rescued by [[Blessed Herman]]. Sword sent on holiday to various colleges. 
2015 *ICW XX - Held by [[Blessed Herman]] in [[Innilgard]]. Won by St Basil. [[Blessed Herman]]'s [[seneschal]] kidnapped by colleges of St [[College of St Bartholomew|Bart]], [[College of St Basil the Great|Basil]], and [[College of St Ursula|Ursula]]. [[Blessed Herman|Herman]]'s Seneschal also declared "Quartermaster's fine booty". 
2016 *ICW XXI - Held by [[College of St Basil]]. Was declared a draw between St Basil and the [[College of St Bartholomew]] 
2017 *ICW XXII - Held by the [[College of St Monica]]. Won by [[Blessed Herman]]. 
2018 *ICW XXIII - Held by [[St Malachy]], with the help of [[St Ursula]]. Won by [[St Ursula]]. 
2019 *ICW XXIV - Held and won by the [[College of St Crispin]]. The formation of the Church of Morecock and its Holy order of the Knights of Bacardi saw a threat upon the hegemony of The Fish Wizard (Deum Cephlapodum) and his Cephalopod Collective. This broke out into a (mock) holy war. 
2020 & 2021 - Event not run due to COVID-19 
2022 *ICW XXV - Held by the [[College of St Christina the Astonishing]] in [[Innilgard]], with the assistance of [[Blessed Herman]]. Won by [[Blessed Herman]]. Additional disagreement between St Christina and Blessed Herman over land was settled with a treaty by request of [[King]] Alain and [[Queen]] Safiya. No ducks were harmed during this war. 
2023 *ICW XXVI - Held by the [[College of St Monica]]. Won by [[Blessed Herman]]. 
2024 *ICW XXV and/or ICW XXVII - Held and won by [[St Ursula]]. The Ursulans and Crispies declared it was ICW XXV, while the Hermanites and their allies declared it was ICW XXVII and that this was an attempt to rewrite the history of two Hermanite victories in two years. War broke out over this perceived insult.
