I didn't have a vigil when I was elevated to the Pelican because back then,
only knights had vigils. (At least in the kingdom I lived it...you mileage
may vary.) My elevation was also a surprise to me. A number of gentles were
called into court without mention of their titles and I was one of them. Once
all had assembled, Their Majesties announced their intention.
I didn't feel as though I had missed anything for two reasons. First: it
wasn't common practice, and second: so many of the people I knew and learned
from were already peers that my life in the SCA was one ongoing vigil. They
constantly taught me things and gave advice that I took to heart and still
use today. That was 13 years ago come the 4th of April.
In Service,
Meghan
