Traditions
Thralls
After attending 3 events with the household, a person who wishes to join House Gremlin goes through a small initiation ceromony known as "The Auction", where by the Freemen of the house 'purchase' the new probationary member. The 'purchasing' is done in an auction where the freemen bid a number of hours of service to the SCA that they are willing to do for the right "own" (mentor) the new member. Probationary members are known as "Thralls" and have limited priviledges within the house. A Thrall becomes a freeman after completing 50 hours of volunteer service.
During the Freedom Ceremony, the 'purchaser' provides the newly made freeman with a freedom gift. Freedom Gifts are meant to help the new member in the SCA lives, a new piece of garb, or perhaps a quiver of arrows, or a horn, etc.
Baron Darryll
Sadly, this red-neck (a slap-stick character often found near Baron Styrr Olafsson) was birthed in our encampment, we apologize.
