Mooneschadow (or whatever the current official spelynge may be) was
founded by college students who only briefly considered -- and
rejected rapidly -- SCA College status. However, we still wanted to
acknowledge the primary "trade" being plied by the core membership. 
The name Moonshadow associated ultimately with the habits of students
& rogues, who spend so much of their most useful efforts toiling in
the shadows cast by the moon.

The original, longform, name also included the descriptor "Land of the
Crying Winds".  Anyone who has visited the rolling plains of northern
Ansteorra upon a January day and heard the wind "singing" through the
fences should be able to figure out *that* part...
