We had a kickin’ time at Ymir. Tom did his last MIT (marshal in training) so he can now send in his paperwork and hopefully become a warranted marshal. Jay, our seneschal, got his Award of Arms, and was inducted into the Order of the Kittyhawk. Isabel and Danr and Andras and F’uil got Baronial awards at the Friday evening court.
I cooked and had fun and got my Award of Arms. For those who read this and are not SCA, an Award of Arms means I can register a coat of arms with the College of Heralds and carry it, if I were a fighter, onto the field (I can also put my device on my clothes and stuff). It also means that I can now call myself Lady Eibhlin inghean ui Chiarain. It’s a recognition for participation. You get called up into Court and the King and Queen chat with you and then they announce your award and give you a spiffy scroll. There are lots of awards in the SCA and it adds to the flavor of the society. People get public recognition for service or excellence in one of the SCA activities, like A&S or fighting. It was fun, but a little nerve wracking. Everyone was watching and I didn’t want to make a big mistake.
Now I have tired feet and I’m missing sleep, but I couldn’t miss work as Phil is out of town, so back to work I go.
Oh well.
