Passion Reignited
Our upcoming reign will center on the time period of the latter 14th and early 15th centuries. The focus of the reign will be “Passion Reignited.” The goal is to show Us and your fellow Scadians, as well as to remind yourself what made you fall in love with the Society and the Dream. We want to see the artistic display that you are proud of and worked so hard on. We look forward to watching contests of prowess and skill, whether on the armored and rapier fields between combatants, or at the archery and thrown weapons ranges. Wear your favorite garb. Dance, play games, volunteer, perform, do the things that you are passionate about. We want to share in the things that make your event special. If We can help rekindle the love for the game and for this incredible kingdom amongst the members of the populace, then We will consider it a successful reign.
Prince Ragnarr Blackhammer
prince@atlantia.sca.org
His Highness is a Scandinavian knight whose heraldic colors are black and burgundy (together) but his favorite color is dark purple (alone). He believes that the 14th century is the “one true century”. He is a lover of cheese and his household motto is “ecce potestas casei” which is Latin for “behold the power of cheese”. Prince Ragnarr enjoys fighting and fencing and playing all sorts of period board and card games. His heraldic emblazon is “Per pale gules and sable, a lion rampant Or charged on the shoulder with a hammer sable.”
- Preferred Foods:
- His Highness has a very special and restrictive diet. He eats mostly dairy, carbohydrates (but not rice) and fruits with very little (and specific) meat and almost no vegetables. He is a fan of simple fare (grilled cheese, PB&J, mac and cheese, etc) with his favorite thing being pizza. His love of hot dogs is grossly overexaggerated. For dayboards and hospitality, things like small slices or cubes of cheese, spreadable cheeses, crackers, soft breads, pepperoni and small sweets (cookies, small pastries, brownies, snack cakes, etc) work best.
- Preferred Drinks:
- Flavored waters, diet sodas (especially diet Dr Pepper Cherry or Strawberries and Cream), Mountain Dew (not diet), Gatorade (red, blue, and purple colors), and milk (strawberry, chocolate, or plain…no skim)
- His Highness doesn’t really drink alcohol so while he will always appreciate the hospitality of the offer, he will most likely decline.
Her Highness is a Pelican whose heraldic colors are purple, black, and gold and her favorite colors are black, deep jewel, and metal tones.
Princess Jân’s persona is Persian, though she is also commonly dressed in either Greek or Roman. Her heraldic emblazon is “Per pale purpure and sable a fox’s head erased and a point pointed or.”
Preferred Foods:
Her Highness has a SEVERE SULFUR ALLERGY. She cannot consume onion juice, nor be around large quantities of cooked or cooking onions. Garlic, dehydrated or powdered onions, leeks, scallions, and chives are all safe and enjoyable alternatives.
Her favorite foods mostly involve various types of cheese, barring anything spicy. She also enjoys breads, pastas, and charcuterie or crudité. Her favorite snacks are flavored almonds or anything cinnamon or dark chocolate.
Preferred Drinks:
Water, unsweetened or raspberry tea, lemonades (especially blackberry), iced coffee, and mountain dew. She cannot have anything containing artificial sweeteners.
Her Highness does not drink often, but enjoys the occasional cider, cyzer, or red wine that doesn’t contain high levels of sulfates. Her flavor preference is extremely dry.
*Her Highness must also avoid sulfates in all body products, and will react to even the smell of orchids.
