[NR] NORTHERN REGIONALNAMING a list for heralds and timeline

[Rose]

Hang on, there may be hope yet! :)

"A geographical location will be considered significant if it is associated with important administrative, social, political or military events (e.g., a capital city, the site of a major treaty or battle, etc.)."

Well, it doesn't run against this part, because it was one of many, many places visited by Coronado and nothing important happened there, since it was just a basic farming town of that period.

"Geographic locations will generally be considered significant if they appear in standard references such as an encyclopedia."

It's not mentioned in the Brittanica, but I don't know about any other encyclopedias. Has anyone ever seen an encyclopedic reference to Quivara?

If not, then it's still in the running, is it not?

So, just to be clear, under SCA rules, it is impossible for any place that may have existed during period, to be acknowledged in a modern SCA name, even if it's appropriate for the modern place.  Ok, I'll have to add that to my list of "Why the SCA is not a Living History organization."

I withdraw the suggestion, you may with draw the name from consideration.
