This what I've been told. But it is a West Kingdom thing, not a Scadian
thing. For more details on this, I think it is covered in one of these
files in the SCA-STORIES section of my Florilegium:
SCA-hist1-msg     (86K)  5/15/92    Msgs on the history of the SCA until 5/92. 
SCA-hist2-msg    (122K)  8/20/94    Msgs on the history of the SCA until 8/94.
SCA-hist3-msg    (106K)  9/22/98    Msgs on the history of the SCA.
