Under the Golden Hart

While the SCA is known for its family friendly entertainment and image, another side is emerging, previously taboo and shunned. But, in a modern era of sex positivity, feminism, and widening support for marginalized communities, it should come as no surprise that the Knowne World Courtesans have carved out an elegant and blissful niche to open eyes and ears to their world.

The Known World Arts and Sciences Display at Pennsic War is always astounding. This year, after a hiatus, was simply amazing. The limit of 50 displays due to Covid allowed observers to wander about the amazing pieces and learn to their hearts’ content.

It was a busy first day for War Points. While there were some logistical delays on the field, the Champions and Melee Battles went pretty smoothly. After the East won the Unbelted Champions Battle, their Majesties immediately placed their force’s Captain on vigil for the Order of the Chivalry. Vivat for Master Estgar!

 

Here are our results for Battlefield War Points:

Unbelted Champions (1 Point): East

Belted Champions (1 Point): Midrealm

OG - 'I REMEMBER OZYMANDIAS'

(Orignially published in 2013. OG had talked about what happens as the Society grows older. He remembered EVERY name of the Pennsic Legends who could no longer be here. We will ensure that this legend is always remembered and honored. – Heirusalem and the Staff of PI)

 

''I REMEMBER OZYMANDIAS''

The Shelley Poem  A statue stands neglected

 forgotten alone in the desert

I know the feeling   I think we all do

It would take little time for us to be all but sadly forgotten

War has been declared! The horn has been sounded, and the War Arrow symbolically broken by the Queens of the East and Midrealm. All the kingdoms formally declared their allegiances, and the official list will be available in tomorrow’s paper. For today, the official Combat War Points began at 11 am with the Unbelted Champions’ battle. The various champions’ tourneys will continue throughout the day on the Battlefield and Rapier Field.

A Range to Throw Your Cares Away

“I am extremely happy.”

Marshal One for Thrown Weapons, Forester Uthan Laoch (Midrealm), is having a great time at his first Pennsic. “I have received the best support from the volunteers who have been here before. I cannot compliment enough how easy they’ve made it for me for my first time; it is so much easier,” he beams.

OG - Welcome Home

OG on “Home”

(Originally published in 2018. OG was on site for a few days. PI hosted a 21st birthday party for him. Folks came in off the road, both old friends or gentles who had never had a chance to meet the legend in person.

We did not know that it was his last Pennsic War. –Heirusalem)
