Protege

A couple weeks ago I was having a discussion about the SCA with Melisande of Woodcrest (OP) and Balian deBrionne. The discussion went pretty far afield and included many different SCA topics. One of the topics covered was asking Melisande for some advice on some activities I could take as Regional Seneschal to help foster more communication and information sharing. Since she had been a past Kingdom Officer and Regional Seneschal for Pentamere, she could have some ideas I had not considered.

She made a couple comments at the time that I took to mean she would be interested or happy to help me if I needed any more advice on the topic. After I got home and made notes about the various topics we covered, I realized she may have been offering more than just help with advice but a more active arrangement (I have been know to be very slow on the uptake). She may have offered to take me as her protégé. About a week later I was able to ask her for clarification and she said she had indeed offered to have me as a protégé. I accepted on the spot !!!
Now I need to find out what she expects out of me as a Protégé.

Resubmitted my Coat of Arms change

Well I have resubmitted the change to my registered arms!! I received the needed signed permission to conflict from THL Adela de Warren from Northshield. Thank you Lady Adela!!!!! I had the packet of material ready and after making a couple copies I sent off the submission. Now I get to cross my fingers and wait about 8 months or so to get an answer from Laurel.

NEW ARMOR!!!

Well this will be a series of small updates to bring this Blog current.

I ordered a new set of armor. Arms and legs, both to look a little spiffier and also reduce some of the weight of my kit. This is ABS plastic covered in leather and looks very nice. I ordered these from the House of the Wolf after seeing some information about their product at the Armour Archive. I ordered this and it shipped in one week. That is outstanding speed considering most armor I have ordered before.

I have practiced in the Arm armor already and really like it. I have a small adjustment to make to the legs and also may make a quilted leg to wear underneath the armor to look more period. This will give me something to do over the holiday!! http://houseofthewolf.com/
