Building camp furniture, working on their car, lifting and hauling and decorating for events whenever time allows, and even the occasional bit of embroidery are all in their scope.<br /> <br /> ==Persona==<br /> Haeloc has not settled on a specific persona, and chooses to dress and participate according to the occasion and the weather. <br /> <br /> ==Ongoing Projects==<br /> *Maintains and updates the &quot;Tri-Baronial Happenings&quot; flyer that is distributed throughout the Baronies of Three Mountains, Dragon's Mist, and Stromgard<br /> *Drafting and developing newcomer education resources (workshops, online source lists, and newcomer quests)<br /> *(In Progress) Barony of Three Mountains Newcomer Quest<br /> *Woodworking: Building collapsible wooden camp furniture, small wood largess items, and prepping the occasional Really Cool Stick&lt;sup&gt;tm&lt;/sup&gt;<br /> *Sewing, bookbinding, digital resources<br /> <br /> ==Associates==<br /> *Helena Licht von Tübingen (Josie Light) - Wife<br /> *[[Compagnie de Cabril]] - Household<br /> <br /> ==Offices and Awards==<br /> Offices:<br /> *Chatelaine, Barony of Three Mountains<br /> <br /> Awards:<br /> *Golden Torc (Three Mountains) By: Michael Leyland Sinclaire, Eden the Mad Sep 28, 2024 (AS LIX)<br /> *Rolland's Oliphant (Three Mountains) By: Michael Leyland Sinclaire, Eden the Mad Jan 25, 2025 (AS LIX)<br /> *Sanguine Thorn (An Tir) By: Nicolai Rabenis Von Tachov, Ana de la Sara Mar 1, 2025 (AS LIX)<br /> *Order of the Crystal Rainbow (Three Mountains) By: Michael Leyland Sinclaire, Eden the Mad Aug 16, 2025 (AS LX)<br /> *Beacon of Three Mountains (Three Mountains) By: Michael Leyland Sinclaire, Eden the Mad Oct 18, 2025 (AS LX)<br /> *Award of Arms (An Tir) By: Octamasades Skuthikos, Achaxe Ek Auchatae Nov 8, 2025 (AS LX)</div>

She was from a Christian beekeeping family that served as favored chandlers to the Prince of Polotsk. Her parents’ handiwork supplied the castle in the city - as well as prominent monasteries and churches championed by the crown - with beeswax candles. Her father crafted, her mother helped, and Anya was their apprentice, learning chandlery while also running their deliveries. As Christianity spread, leading to the opening of new religious and academic centers, her parents’ business and fortune boomed.<br /> <br /> After some time, Anya’s sister fell ill. While her parents were firmly Christian, faithful to the Prince who patronized them, Anya's grandmother rejected the new religion and believed that the girl should be treated using their traditional medicines. In the end, the Christian doctors failed to save Anya’s sister, and she passed away. Unbeknownst to her parents, this radicalized Anya against the ongoing Christianization, and moved her to begin secretly studying Slavic prechristian medicine and religion from her grandmother.

It would be extractive and exploitative - entirely antithetical to my ethics - to reap personal gain from a people’s struggle and give NOTHING back... The study of history is inherently political and to imagine otherwise is a fantasy of the privileged.

He can be found on social media at [https://www.instagram.com/shorted_sewing/ @shorted_sewing ], and puts up a few Royal Round scores [https://scores-sca.org/public/scores_name.php?R=5&amp;NID=13538 with his longbow].<br /> <br /> Edmund is a Courtier of Three Mountains, having completed Sergeancy trials under Eden and Michael in AS 60. He is in fealty to [[Sebastiaen des Roseaux]], OC, OP as a student in Service.<br /> <br /> Edmund was Three Mountains A&amp;S Champion in AS 59-60. He is Mountains Persuivant Herald AS 58-60.<br /> <br /> He hails from the disputed lands near Calais, in the Edwardian period of the Hundred Years War (1337-1360). <br /> == ''Persona:'' ==<br /> Edmund’s exact age is unknown, but he was a young man just reaching his majority when the Black Death entered northern France in the spring of 1348. A few years on, in 2025 or an allegorical 1352, Edmund is an independent working professional, a journeyman in his craft.<br /> <br /> While the extent of his travels is not fully known, he lived and worked among the fashion and thought of the Low Countries, heavily influenced by English and French urban opinion. Depending on how Edmund is serving his Barony, he could be considered a merchant of modest means, or a liveried servant in a large house, and subject to the appropriate sumtuary laws of either group.<br /> Growing up near the Low Countries, he may have spoken a dialect of French called Picard as his first language, then added English as a second language. He was not likely to have been fully literate, but may have known enough of his letters to affirm a contract and write his name. It is likely he had a firmer grasp of math as a tradesman, and would have been proficient in counting ells of fabric and tallying profits and expenses.<br /> He is presumed to have been Catholic, as in 1299 the Jews of France were expelled by Philip IV. They were again exiled in 1306, which would have again displaced a Jewish Edmund.<br /> <br /> == ''A&amp;S Judged entries:'' ==<br /> You can find Edmund's documentation in full [https://1drv.ms/f/c/853534d9c0cdf7bd/EoW4Zh5PhU9DnxMrQp5AkekBfhFnuaryQzOotDqWVT2QOQ in his OneDrive].<br /> * Dragonsmist A&amp;S Championship, Carnivale LVIII<br /> * Tablecloth Garb challenge, Egil's LIX<br /> * Costume Contest, Egil's LIX<br /> * 3M A&amp;S Championship, Honor Feast LIX<br /> * Heraldic Embroidery, Janeltis Natal Day LIX<br /> * Costume Contest, Egil's LX<br /> * Dragonsmist A&amp;S Championship, Carnivale LIX<br /> * Elite Category, Artifacts of a Life I<br /> <br /> ==''Classes:''==<br /> You can find Edmund's handouts in full [https://1drv.ms/f/c/853534d9c0cdf7bd/Eq0ZIZFYWCVFvryoHGQUiSsBr9pGNhLeXKxbV5CyzdZkWw in his OneDrive].<br /> * Waxing Fabric for Garments<br /> * All in the Details: 14th Cen.

Her first SCA event was Acorn War AS 59 (2024), which fell on her and her wife's anniversary. The SCA has more than lived up to this hope, as in the years since, she has found a chosen family and some of her dearest friends, as well as a lifetime supply of hobbies and artistic expression. Jessica is a grad student working full-time, so she is less fully engaged than she would prefer to be, but can usually be found at Barony-level events or on the An Tir Discord. <br /> <br /> As of AS 60, she is primarily working on developing her persona. Her &quot;Protest Medic Kit&quot; display/entry at Artifacts Of A Life was the official beginning of this journey, for which she was honored with Three Mountains's Myrtle Leaf. She is also working on two persona-relevant A&amp;S classes, one on beeswax candles modeled after the finds at Gniozdovo dated to 970, and one on ''motanky''. Stay tuned! <br /> <br /> Other current projects of Anya's include a role as a scribal deputy of Three Mountains, and making woodburned boxes inspired by whimsical marginalia for kingdom largesse.</div>

She was from a Christian beekeeping family that served as favored chandlers to the Prince of Polotsk. Her parents’ handiwork supplied the castle in the city - as well as prominent monasteries, churches, and schools championed by the crown - with beeswax candles.

While her parents were firmly Christian, faithful to the Prince who patronized them, Anya's grandmother rejected the new religion and believed that the girl should be treated using their traditional medicines. In the end, the Christian doctors failed to save the girl, and Anya’s sister passed away. Unbeknownst to her parents, this radicalized Anya against the ongoing Christianization, and moved her to begin secretly studying Slavic prechristian medicine and religion from her grandmother.

She ultimately took a role using her healing knowledge to mend comrades’ burns and combat injuries – a proto-protest medic.<br /> <br /> ==SCA History, Interests, &amp; Activities==<br /> Jessica joined the SCA at a difficult time in her life when she was seeking community and healthy pastimes in the immediate aftermath of her wife's death by cancer.
