Rebellious Mercenary Scribal Guild
The Rebellious Mercenary Scribal Guild is an independent scribal collective founded by Nykera Drago D'Argento to support nontraditional, exploratory, and service-oriented approaches to scribal arts. The guild encourages experimentation across media, the blending of historical and modern techniques, and the reclamation of scribal practice as both functional service and personal expression. A safe place for those who have been negatively impacted by the gatekeeping in the SCA around the Scribal arts, and encouraging it's members to find their passion and to pursue their arts with other like minded uplifting artists while sharing resources, and inspiration wth one another.
The guild operates as a flexible community rather than a formal order, providing a space for collaboration, peer mentorship, and creative autonomy for scribes both within and outside the Kingdom of An Tir.
