Pronounced "Eloise Quilter of Finchingfield". Formerly known as Helene de Navarre, Elewys is a 13th century English name, Cuylter to indicate a personal passion of mine, and Finchingefeld, a town in Essex where textiles were a huge industry in the 13th century, including drapers, fullers, quilters, weavers and more. Device passed earlier this year: Per bend sinister vert and lozengy vert and argent, in chief a pair of scissors fesswise reversed argent.
I began playing in the SCA in about February 1990 after meeting some gentlemen dressed in kilts at Western Washington University's club fair. I attended my first event that spring, Sir Edward's Tournament, which was held on the grassy fields near the rock rings and in the brick walkway of Fairhaven College. Their Majesties, Thorin and Angharad were in attendance for the day and the evening feast. My second event was May "Drown" in Grant's Pass, where it rained sideways for the entire weekend. I was completely unprepared for eventing, but learned some very valuable lessons. One being you should always keep a set of dry clothes in the car for the ride home.
Beginning in about AS XXV, I held the office of Seneschal of Wisdom's Keep, and upon its dissolution, held offices in Shittimwoode, including Chronicler, Chatelaine, Stock Clerk, Gold Key, and Exchequer (a position I held for three years, including the turbulent Avaloc reign), and autocratted a couple of events, including Sir Eddie's Tourney, Town Faire, and Crown Council during the reign of Hwolf & Louisa. I also began assisting Baroness Amanda Kendal with Ithras in Shittimwoode, which led to requesting to be trained as a Chancellor of Ithra for a new campus, Borderlands.
University of Ithra's Borderlands campus was officially formed in January 2004 and to date, I have successfully run more than a dozen Ithra sessions in the Shire of Shittimwoode.
I moved to the Barony of Aquaterra in fall of 2007 and within a few months, took the office of Minister of Arts and Sciences.
Resume & OP In an effort to keep track of my SCA accomplishments, and at the request of Molly Modine on the various lists, I have created this resume and posted it here. Some dates are estimates, as this was rebuilt using my memories and back issues of newsletters.
