castles or keeps had a different name, do we wish to name our
castle?</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>It is already named Elfsea. If there is a name only the ones who built it
would know. Maybe it is written in secret upon a stone somewhere we have
yet to discover. In Elvish perhaps because in those ancient days they did
things like that. </DIV>

<DIV>Oh yes. It was started with Startwinkle and house Sierras, Then on to
Lokies, Dragon's Blood, Frost (Lock Rudh).... I know there are more out
there I just can't remember them all. Not to mention the mead that has been
made. </DIV>
<DIV>But I would suspect there are a few outside the keep as well:).</DIV>

<DIV>I would say that there are some in the keep who are long established and
then there are some scattered to the hills and can only be found if one is
truly looking. </DIV>

castle?</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>As any castle it varies. At times we have a large number until we have a
noble who pulls from our garrison. Then it is quite small. But we always have
a garrison if need be to answer the call when it is made. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Kings from Elfsea 6 total</DIV>
<DIV>They do have a habit of doing it more than once and that keeps the
populus of Elfsea busy. </DIV>

<DIV>No we have always had trouble with our dragons and thus it is small.:) We
keep replenishing it but every 100 thousand (miles) or so we loose a dragon
and have to replace it. </DIV>

<DIV>Fair and beautiful with many flowers. The flowers bloom but then die and

<DIV>Remember that SCA was built on the magic of our image of what the past
could have and would have been like in King Author's time. The first
coronation was in Elfsea. We make the magic. We can only do that if we
work as a team. Elfsea has put on many events were the magic crackled in the
air for myself and others. Keep the tradition alive and the Magic real. </DIV>
