The Society of Creative Anachronism (SCA) is a world-wide living history club with members numbering in the tens of thousands. Within the SCA there are several "kingdoms" and within these kingdoms are local groups known as baronies.. One of these baronies, made up of central Ontario, Canada, is known as Septentria. Septentria was the first barony to be formed in Ontario. The people of this barony, who pride themselves as being from "the heart of Ealdormere", have a long and proud history. The Honourable Laird Colyne Stewart (otherwise known as author Todd H. C. Fischer) has, over the past decade and a half, written several histories of this barony, its peoples and their deeds. From the founding baroness, Gillian d'Uriel, up to the investiture of Dafydd and Mahhild, Colyne has collected many tales of Septentria's past, presenting them in the form of period chronicles.
The Society of Creative Anachronism (SCA) is a world-wide living history club with members numbering in the tens of thousands. Within the SCA the Honourable Laird Colyne Stewart (otherwise known as author Todd H. C. Fischer) has, over the past decade and a half, written many poems about the people and events that make up the Society. This follow up volume to Wolfen Elegy contains over two dozen poems written in several different medieval forms. From the German sprechspruch to the French kyrielle, from the Norse drótkvætt to the Irish amra, Colyne has tried his hand at several styles, attempting, in his way, to preserve the deeds of valour and honour he has witnessed over the years.
The Society of Creative Anachronism (SCA) is a world-wide living history club with members numbering in the tens of thousands. Within the SCA there are several "kingdoms". One of these kingdoms, made up of most of Ontario, Canada, is known as Ealdormere. The people of this kingdom, who pride themselves as being from "the northlands", have a long and proud history. This year, the SCA turns fifty years old, and as part of the celebrations, each kingdom was asked to write a history of its lands. In Ealdormere, this task fell to the Honourable Laird Colyne Stewart (otherwise known as author Todd H. C. Fischer). Through study of earlier histories, newsletters and discussions with founding members, Colyne has compiled this chronicle featuring many acts of dedication, service, prowess, valour, and honour.
It began about two decades ago, at the Middlebridge, where members of the Middle Kingdom of the Society for Creative Anachronism gathered to gossip and debate. The conversation turned sour as some began to complain that the ideals that the SCA claimed to stand for were no longer being observed. Duke Finnvarr de Taahe was distressed. The complaining he was hearing seemed to be leading nowhere. He therefore challenged those present to think seriously about chivalry and peerage. How did people fall short of their ideals? How did others meet the high standards they set for themselves? This challenge resulted in a classic discussion, which was recorded for posterity by Duke Finnvarr's clerk, Etienne de l'Isle. Although things have changed within the SCA since the Dialogue took place, much remains the same, and the gathered wisdom of the participants, both famous and obscure, is still of interest for those who take the SCA experience seriously.
A collection of Todd H. C. Fischer's tales inspired by the Old Gent of Providence (H.P. Lovecraft), including the stories "Old Idols", "A Drink at Shub's", "Dunn's Point", and many, many more. With an introduction by Ian Rogers (author of "The Ash Angels").
