Scribes may bring their own books for inspiration or you may borrow from the Kingdom Scribal Library housed in Scribes Point. At the end of the heavy list all scribal combatants shall return to the field. During the scribal competition, the populace will be welcome to come socialize and watch the scribes work.
Each level will have a winner and the Queen will
determine an overall winner to be announced in Court Sunday night. That scribe
will be named The Queen’s Combat Scribe and will be awarded regalia to go with
that honor.
The scrolls created during this list will be maintained by the Chart Signet’s office for future use by Kingdom. |
A quick hello from the new chart signet
Greetings to the scribes of Trimaris!
I was fortunate enough to meet several of you at our College of Scribes
meeting this weekend, and I know many of you just from bopping around
all the scribal classes in the kingdom when I can. For those I have not
met, I hope to be able to say "hi" to you soon as well! I really am in need of calligraphers! If you are
wondering if you could be one, please let me know and I'll try to get to
where you are to teach (or find someone close who can.) Calligraphy
just needs some practice and isn't that hard! If you need supplies and are turning in scrolls to the
kingdom, please feel free to contact our quartermaster, her excellency
Jehanette de Lille. Her contact information can be found on the college
of scribes web page (see below) |
Scribal Honors from Art/Sci Faire
Populace Acclaim: The Populace Acclaim went to Lady Milesenda de Bourges for her Visconti-Sforza Tarot Cards! Non Pariel: The Laurels presented TWO Non Pariels at this Art/Sci Faire, one to a member of our College. As one of our members described it, a "Non Pariel" is an entry that is such a perfect example of a historical item that if you snuck it into a museum in your bag and then dropped it in front of a guard they would arrest you IMMEDIATELY for stealing their artifacts and only figure it out later. We had two such entries this weekend, though only one was an "artifact" as such! Lady Milesenda de Bourges received a Non Pariel for her Visconti-Sforza Tarot Cards! There's a special secret regarding these cards - she make a full set of 12 cards, but there are only 11 extant cards from this deck. One original card has gone missing over time. Can YOU figure out which one is the one she created to complete the set Gulf Wars Champions: The Laurels, in consultation with the Empress, also chose 10 Trimarian Art/Sci Champions for Gulf Wars XXII. Out of those ten, three were scribes from our College. These brave and talented scribes will represent us at the Gulf Wars Champions Art/Sci Competition, which is worth a war point. Our Champions are: Lady Milesenda de Bourges - Visconti-Sforza Tarot Cards Honorable Lady Bres O'Seachnasaigh - Pomegranate, Worm & Peach Lady Catherine Brown of Coventry - Oak Gall Ink |

Trimaris Scribes invade Red Tower in Meridies
We had a very successful scribal roadshow at Red Tower in Meridies on October first. About 15 scribes attended classes throughout the day and it was great to get to meet so many eager artisans. Each artisan received a copy of the proceedings that included the handouts for all classes taught at the event. Special thanks to our teachers: Hon Lady Franca Donato
And special thanks to M'lady Isabela who made us a delicious lunch for the instructors that included some remarkable mincemeat tarts. Isabella sent along her recipie and I have included it below. In service, Maol I found about 20 different mincemeat recipes online, the only consistent thing about mincemeat pie near as I can tell are the 3 original spices of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, so I cherry picked the contents based on allergy restrictions and what I happen to like most. Contents ½ lb beef sausage ½ lb turkey sausage 1 mineola orange 3 large Gala apples 1.5 cups California raisins Liquids 1 Can frozen citrus juice mix (apple, orange, and pineapple) 1/3 cup molasses 1 cup Cruzan Blackstrap Rum Spices 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon 1 Teaspoon Nutmeg ½ Teaspoon Ground Cloves ¾ Cup White Sugar ¾ Cup Brown Sugar Chop up all the contents in small pieces, throw everything in a pot and then simmer for about an hour (until everything is cooked down into a pretty syrupy pie filling consistency). You can always do what I did and taste test the rum to make sure it’s good before adding it to the pot I used a mini muffin tin of 24 muffins, preheated the oven to 425, put the tin in and then turned it down to 350 for 20-25 minutes or until the contents were sizzling and the crust at the edges were turning golden brown. I let them cool overnight then froze them, reheating them right before I served them at 200 degrees for about 25 minutes. The mincemeat recipe makes 2 9 inch Pie fillings; I used 3, 9 inch buttermilk pie crusts for the crust, (butter, buttermilk, salt, sugar, and flour) and ended up having about aquarter of all the contents left after making 48 tarts. I knew people eating there were allergic to almonds and to pork so I specifically got sausage that had no pork casings, and a crust recipe that didn’t use almond milk. Have fun, thanks again for being my guinea pig for my first SCA meal Isabel |
