Clothing |
| Please do not wear a plain white, red, green, or yellow belt. |
White belts are worn by Knights, an earned rank in
the SCA. Red belts are worn by Squires, green belts by apprentices,
and yellow belts by protégés. These are people working at
obtaining earned ranks. |
| Please do not wear a white or red scarf. |
White scarves are worn by Dons, a rapier fighter who
has obtained the highest level. Red scarves are worn by
their cadets (people who are studying to become Dons). |
| Please do not wear crowns, tiaras, or metallic bands wider
1/2 inch. |
These items are worn by members of the royalty. |
| Please do not wear a plain unadorned chain. |
This is won by Knights as a symbol of their rank. |
| Please no not call yourself "Lord" or
"Lady". |
Lord and Lady are earned ranks. |
| Please don't wear horns, wings, or pointy ears. |
We are trying recreate the past, not fantasy. |
| Please attempt to wear period clothing. |
Our time period is 600 A.D. to 1600 A.D., although
some people go a little earlier and wear Roman chitins. The
simplest garb to make is a t-tunic. For help in creating
garb contact our hospitaller. |

Court & Feast |

Use period drinking containers. |
| Please do not talk during court. |
Bring a tablecloth or blanket to cover your ice

Other |

wearing a crown. |
This shows respect to the office. |
| Refer to a person wearing a crown as Your
Excellency. The only exception is the: King & Queen - Your
Majesty and Prince and Princess - Your Highness. |
Don't worry if you get the terms confused.
When in doubt, refer to the person as His/Her Excellency.
Most of the time this is the correct address. |
| Tell people you're new! |
We were all new once and remember that
feeling. Let us know, so we can help you and tell you
everything you want know. |
| Ask questions! |
How else are you going to learn? We LOVE to
talk about this hobby of ours. So ask a question and prepare
for the onslaught. |
| Volunteer! |
This is a great way to get to know people and
events are lots more fun when you help run them. So sign up
for gate, help carry water for fighters and the populace, become a server at feast, fish a
royal out of a raging river. |

importantly - HAVE FUN!! |
