ANST - SCA language

[Celeste de Montomorency]

What if the event you are going to is one in which you aren't familiar with 
the culture. For example, my Barony has three main event; To Save A Queen, 
Eldern XXI, and Samhain. TSAQ is very late period and is usually done with a 
French, English, or Spanish theme. I can deal with that. I'm late period 
French. Eldern XXI is usually not centered around any particular culture or 
period, just a theme. We don't mind the use of such words. We just expect 
you to try to play persona. Samhain is very early period. It's usually done 
in a Celtic or Norse culture. I have a hard time even with bardic at that 
event because I'm so late period, I hardly even touch information from that 
period. It's just not my area of interest. Someday, I may actually get 
around to studying that period in time. Right now, I'm concentrating on 
putting together a more authentic appearance. I've never been to a fantasy 
oriented event and to be honest, I'm not sure I would like one. I love 
reading fantasy and I think it's funny when they do something fantasy 
oriented every once in a while in court or at a ball, but I absolutely 
cringe when I see someone walking around with wings on at Med Fair. Using 
these words does not put me in the mind of fantasy though it does to some 
people. It also does not bother most people around me. I do thank you for 
your suggestion though.

                           With many thanks,
                   Lady Celeste Courtenay de Montmorency
