Good Gentle, Welcome!
The SCA is like unto a map of a heretofore, unexplored land
of vast treasures. You are the traveler. Here then find some
advice to assist thee on thy journey.
As a new person to The Society & Northover thou needst
know that even though each Kingdom has it's own set of Laws
& Traditions, The Society For Creative Anachronism, Inc.
has only two written "Rules" which all need play by.
THE RULES OF THE SCA
1) Thou shalt conduct thyself as a Lady or Gentleman.
In the Society we strive to promote honor, courtesy & chivalry amongst all. As to the actual title of Lord or
Lady, Knight etc., they are not used by new folks but are awarded
later by our Monarch's to those who have proven themselves worthy
of such titles.
2) Thou shalt make an attempt to wear period style
garment to events.
As for thy clothing, any attempt at pre-17th cen. clothing is
appreciated & acceptable.
Please contact our Officer, called the Chatelaine,
who is charged with assisting new folks She/He can assit ye
with all thy questions & has loaner garb (clothing) & loaner feast gear available so that there is no need for thee
to go to any great expense just to attend thy first events.
We hold clothing classes or if ye are not so inclined there
are also clothing merchants, see clothing link.
SOME TRADITIONS & UNWRITTEN LAWS
As a Lady or Gentleman offer, whenever possible,
to assist others in need, be it carrying, fetching or cleaning.
Thou shalt not steal from another member.
Thou shalt respect other member's property & ask permission before entering anothers
pavilion or encampment.
Always ask permission of the owner before touching
a blade, sword or other martial arts weapon.
All local Laws of the Land supercede the Laws
of the SCA Kingdoms, Principalities, Baronies, etc. and will
be enforced by the Sheriff or Police, if needed. This means
no physical attacks outside of regulated SCA combat, no under
age drinking, no thievery, etc.
