anyone have any suggestions for an alternate title for the person who checks
people in to an SCA event. Our person uses the term "troll" which is
beginning to grate on my nerves...almost as badly as "feastocrat"...though
at least troll is a real word, and one that was probably used in period,
though not for this purpose.>>
I believe that the period term for the person in charge of access to the
gate of a keep or monastery was "porter". Unfortunately, at least in the East,
that term has been designated for the Kingdom level officer in charge of
helping with access for those with disabilities, so it's not really available.
How about gatekeeper for the person and gate for the place? It's better than
troll, and what I am trying to teach myself to use.
