<<<<<QUOTE>>>>>
          Morgana ap Llareggub Organophosphate of the Tinkling Elfin Bells
is a professional scribe who is also a skilled stonemason and has some
knowledge of the healing arts. In the Middle Ages there is no nasty
scientific method or research and so everyone is totally healthy, since they
rely on the intuitive herb-lore of wandering wise women who are in touch
with the Goddess on account of their womb-wisdom.

          She lives just outside Paris, but was born on the coast of Wales
before being taken by gypsies to live in Muslim Spain and then northern
India where she converted to a form of inclusive Buddhist feminist-paganism.
Returning via the Holy Land, she helped build several cathedrals, before
accidentally entering a time/space portal and spending several years in the
worlds of the novels of Marion Zimmer Bradley and Katherine Kurtz. On
returning to the Middle Ages, she settled in France where she lives on her
own in a really cool tower full of pretty things.

one thing tho..... i have never heard the term 'authenticity nazi' in use
anywhere in any kingdom i have served in----i HAVE heard 'authenticity
police'  and 'period police' almost everywhere........personally i believe
that to use nazi as an epithet about anyone shows an almost clinical(as in
need of clinical help) level of anger in someone
