Grapevine January 2012 Volume XIV, Issue III Bordescros January AS46 (2012) Grapevine January 2012 Chronicler Unto the worthy populace of Bordescros and to all of the friends of the Shire, Greetings. The beginning of another year and a very busy year at that, we have a lot to organise between now and the beginning of winter but it looks like it is going to be a good year and a very interesting year. Please read some of the emails circulating Lochac I have included them in the grapevine for those who do not receive them. Congratulations to our new Seneschal and we all look forward to working with him over the next couple of years.

There are times that things of this nature can be easily misunderstood, and confusing, when people do not have the context of the storyline. In an effort to try and avoid confusion and misunderstanding of the 'drama' that will occur during the reign We wanted to share the storyline with everyone so you can follow along as the story unfolds during the reign. We hope you enjoy the show and participate in the fun! The Story: The Saxon Kingdom has long suffered from raids from the Viking Kingdom and Their Majesties have charged the Prince of the Southern Domain to find a solution so that the Kingdom may know peace. The solution is to merge the Saxon House of Lachlan with the Viking House of Glen More; the union seems simple enough, a Saxon Prince and a Viking Princess. However, this union will mean that the Lord of Lachlan and the Lady of Glen More must set aside personal claims in their houses to serve the greater good of the Kingdom. This will work for a time, but you will note that during the reign Siridean will salute the Queen and his Lady and child that he had to forsake to take the Crown. You will see Margie have questionable contact with her Knights Counselor who happens to be her 'former' lover. Rumors will be spread, letters send to Pegasus, etc., and it will all come to a head at festival where the Kingdom will be split and must declare for the House Lachlan (Blue, Gold and White) or House Glen More (Green and White). Siridean and Margie ask the Baronies, Cantons, Shires, Colleges, Households, Noble Free men and women) be ready with Banners to declare for one side of the other at Rowany Festival. This rift will be pit kinsmen against kinsmen and will only be resolved when an heir is chosen....but there is sure to be as issue or two before the final resolution at Midwinter. Kind Regards, Lady Glen More and Lord Lachlan This is the Grapevine, a publication of the Shire of Bordescros of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc.

Each area having its own unique landscapes, cultures, customs and dreams....yet the people of this land all stand united under the Lochac banner and Her Southern Cross. Ever present in our night sky, the Southern Cross has 5 stars and so too does the Kingdom of Lochac have five shinning stars! Since man first looked to the heavens the stars have been used to aide in finding ones way and so too would We, the Crown of Lochac, name the 5 stars of Lochac to aid in the navigation of Our Kingdom. The Crescent Ilse shall represent the lands the island natives call New Zealand The Northern Reaches shall consist of lands known as Queensland The Central Marches shall be comprised of the mundane state of New South Wales The Southern Domain shall be the combined areas of South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria (Bordescross is in the Southern Domain) The Western Shores will be the namesake for Western Australia We did make this proclamation in Our Coronation Court in Shire of Dragons bay on the Western Shores and did display the 5 banners representing each of the Stars of Lochac. We would ask that the names outlined above are used during Our Reign. We would like to further state that this is meant to enhance game play by providing some rallying points, names and banners, as the story line for Our Reign unfolds. We hope that each of the Stars of Lochac will be able to use these to generate themes for events over the next several months. We plan to have the banners flown at all events We attend and possibly lead armies into battle! So we encourage everyone to have fun with this and take it in the light hearted manner in which it is meant. Below I have included a 'crude' representation of the banners. The white area represents the 6 pointed star and you will note that the star's location shifts based on the cardinal direction location of each named area.

  • A Quick Introduction to SCA for Media People. Contacting the SCA in New
    A Quick Introduction to SCA for Media People. The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is an international historical research and recreation group which, in over 40 years of operating as a non-profit organisation, has gained some 50,000 members worldwide. SCA members meet regularly to hold medieval or Renaissance-style tournaments, most commonly fighting in armour with sword and shield, as well as enjoying feasts, dancing and other events and activities that recreate “the better part of the Middle Ages”. Many historical recreation groups specialise in a particular time and place. However, the SCA covers a period from 600 to 1600CE in Europe. As part of this, members dress the part, so you may see Viking warriors rubbing shoulders with Italian knights, Elizabethan ladies embroidering next to Anglo-Saxon maidens. Members are drawn from a broad range of ages and occupations, and it is not uncommon for them to become recognised experts in their chosen SCA field of endeavour, earning academic credentials, acting as technical advisors to the film industry and becoming published authors. A number of branches have been established in New Zealand over the past 20 years, including groups in Auckland (known as the Barony of Ildhafn), Hamilton (the Canton of Cluain), Wellington (the Shire of Darton), Christchurch (the Barony of Southron Gaard) and Dunedin (the Canton of Castelburn). These groups are part of the Kingdom of Lochac, which at present covers Australia and New Zealand. The name "Lochac" comes from a reference in the book of Marco Polo's travels to lands south of Indonesia. Local groups are typically governed by a Baron and/or Baroness as representatives of the ruling King and Queen, with a Seneschal handling day-to-day operations, and a Chatelaine handling inquiries from the public.
