Tuchuk

Wulfstan:

The '''Tuchuks''' are one of a number of independent organizations which participate at [[Pennsic War]] in the [[SCA]]. Primarily a [[North America]]n phenomenon, Tuchuks are [[barbarian]] [[persona]]s based on a series of books - the "Gor" novels written by John Norman - who owe considerably more to popular depictions of barbarians in [[20th century]] media than to the reality of so-called "barbarian" cultures.

Bluntly put, Tuchuks dress like Conan and talk like Klingons. [[Leather]], [[fur]]s and [[maille]] are the norm, with lots of bare skin. The entire Tuchuk subculture is very [[medjeeval]], and many [[SCAdian]]s therefore look down on them for their lack of [[authentic]]ity.

In defense of the Tuchuks, they throw excellent parties (especially at [[Pennsic]]) and they're pure hell on the [[battlefield]]. The chant of "Tooo-CHUCK! Tooo-CHUCK! Tooo-CHUCK!" is a warning to others to get out of the way before they charge, since Tuchuks are content to mow down any allied unit in their line of advance.

Bluntly put, Tuchuks dress like Conan and talk like Klingons and basically are a collection of violent idiots. [[Leather]], [[fur]]s and [[maille]] are the norm, with lots of bare skin.

House Darkspire

Wulfstan:

'''House Darkspire''' is a [[household]] within the [[Society for Creative Anachronism]] that was founded by Wulfstan Egweald in earnest in the [[Kingdom of Drachenwald ]]in June, [[1998]]. This followed a failed attempt to create the household in the [[Kingdom of Atlantia]] in early [[1992]].

The first members to join Wulfstan in creating House Darkspire in Drachenwald were Lord Artemis Enright and Lord Guillaume Jean-Pierre de Mortain. They were followed by Vlad the Legless, Micheal MacEnright, Sara Bellamy and Lord Connor. Together, they formed a new group, the [[Shire of Rauchenderburg]].

Wulfstan:

House Darkspire is a patriarchal militarily-structured service and social household
based predominantly in Atlantia, under the leadership of the Overlord, Baron Wulfstan Egweald.
Baron Wulfstan founded the household in earnest in the Kingdom of Drachenwald in June 1998.
It eventually flourished and spread beyond the Kingdom's borders, eventually encompassing a
presence in the Kingdoms of Drachenwald, the Outlands, Atlantia, and An Tir. Currently, the
largest group in Darkspire resides in the Kingdom of Atlantia
