Introduction
I heard about the SCA in the Late 1980's in High School. I hung out mundanely with members of House Three Skulls. I did not join the Society until my then teenaged daughter was looking to continue fencing after her intra-mural season ended.
Persona
Changed Address frequently due to marriage to itinerant sailor.
No real time or place, but prefers comfort over fashion in clothing
Learned to Scribe as a way to get to know the important folk in new area, and ingratiate herself to same - in order to better provide for her children.
Pronounced Slay-nay bayn Row-nan meechk Robert
I am female and prefer feminine Pronouns. Call me Lady Sláine, or just Sláine
Things I Enjoy Doing
I am a Protege, so in general I like to help. If I am on site and something needs doing, I will gladly help, just ask.
I am a Beginner Scribe and Baby Herald... I can do shouty things
I am a former Chatelaine, (and everyone is a chatelaine) so I can answer questions about the Society in general, and about my Barony in specific. I am also pretty good at finding someone who knows more about a given subject than I, and performing introductions.
I enjoy cooking and will help in the kitchen. I can peel, chop, & slice; general sous-chef type work.
My go-to thing to do at any given event is to Retain for the Royals or Coronets. I love to be able to see and hear everything that is going on in Court, and especially when there are "roving courts" or "fealty's on the fly." I love knowing stuff, and find this is one of the best ways to get the first hand knowledge

Court Will
Surprise me!!
Have in Court (ideally before I am called)
my Husband, Lord Ronan FitzRobert;
my Children, Lady Miriam Giant Slayer and Joel MacRonan;
my Pelican, Baron Master Ateno of Annun Ridge;
his Wife, Baroness Lassar ingen Aeda;
my Belt Sister THL Onóra ingheainn Uí Rauric
and the Coronet of An Dubhaigeainn
Or as many of them as possible.
Ok to be out of Home Barony, ask my Husband, Pelican, and/or Coronet to try to have as many Ducks present as possible. Very cool if being done at the same time as another elevation of a Duck... will help me believe that the local crowd at out-of-area-event is for them rather than for me. Also can be used as the reason for me to attend, (and vice versa)
In Case of Peerage
I read on Facebook that the more details given, the more likely I will be pleased should it ever come to pass.
I am NOT putting this in because I expect to be elevated, I am putting it in like I once made a list of what I would do if I won the Publisher's Clearing House...
Please Contact
- My Husband AND
- My Pelican AND
- The Coronet of An Dubhaigeainn
Surprise me
in Morning Court to be put on Vigil that day.
Where Should It Happen
- Home Barony of An Dubhaigeainn is always best
- Ok to be out of my Home Barony
- Ask my Husband, Pelican, and/or Coronet to try to have as many Ducks present as possible
- Very cool if being done at the same time as another elevation of a Duck... will help me believe that the local crowd at out-of-area-event is for them rather than for me.
- Also can be used as the reason for me to attend, (and vice versa)
- At Pennsic would be AWESOME
Open Vigil
- Inner Sanctum with space for me and up to 2 visiting advisors
- Outer area
- LOTS of food
- Soft Drinks, my Peach Mead, and other alcohols as the Vigil-o-crat sees fit
- Plenty of seating for those who are waiting, and those who are hanging out
- Strict Bookkeeper for the waiting list, only sitting Royals can cut the line
Locale & Decor
- For myself, and for everyone coming to advise me, I value comfort over style.
- Find a place that has a good temperature, with adequate air flow (not stuffy,) and is safe from precipitation.
- Comforable chairs are hard to find, try to have at least 3 (me and 2 guests) in the inner sanctum, and as many chairs of any kind in the outer area (as appropriate to the site)
- Decorate with squirrels,... and ducks,.... maybe 1 wolf, & 1 boar too. Stuffed animals work, so do Decorative hangings a la "Tapestries"
Food
- Whomever is cooking should make everything fingerfood.
- I do not want anything that one needs to use a knife and fork to eat.
- Spoons are ok, I love puddings and custards
- No pork please
- Have plenty of napkins on hand, maybe even wet-naps/babywipes
- I hate it when food is messy and I can't clean up
Vigil Book
- Yes, please
- Decorate with a squirrel
- Visiting Advisors please Sign in and also Leave Notes if they will
- Have a section that is added in after the elevation which has my notes from during the vigil
- Binding can be completed in days following event
Regalia
This is a WISH LIST. I will happily accept anything that someone desires to gift upon me.
- I am very proud to wear the bling I currently have (Silver Wheel medallion and Yellow Belt as of AS 53) so my biggest thing is that
- all regalia be 4 season...
Cloak
- A pretty cloak is an awesome thing.
- I would get a real kick out of attending EK Court at Pennsic for the next elevation and being able to comfortably wear my cloak for the whole ceremony
- I also have no problem wearing my mundane winter coat under my cloak if the cloak alone is not warm enough at colder times of the year.
Hood
- Yes, Please
- Short tailed
- Can be worn for warmth in cooler weather.
- I am allergic to wool
- Polar Fleece is fine with me
Medallion
I would love a medallion made by...
- Antonii Machinevik, or
- Brendan Firebow, or
- my Pelican, Baron Master Ateno of Annun Ridge
Cap of Maintenance
What Kind of Hat
- a sun hat (not too floppy) or
- a Linen Coif
- (cause that's what I'm most comfortable wearing.)
But Wait...
- these do NOT match the definition of a Cap of Maintenance,
- but Artistic License?
Laurel Leaf Circlet
How Ornate
- Simple and Elegant, but
- Not Understated
What Material
- Light weight but, not too maleable metal
- Leather would also be cool
- Designed to wear over a Coif or Sunhat, and directly on the head
Scroll
Who Should Craft It
- my Belt Sister THL Onóra ingheainn Uí Rauric,
- Master Vettorio Antonello,
- my Pelican's Wife, Baroness Lassar ingen Aeda,
- Vicereigne Lada Monguligin.
- Any/as many as can/all of these good folk working on it would be Awesome.
What Should be on It
- Squirrels are my totem animal (you don't say.)
- Incorporating Ateno's Wolf and Cat, Lassar's Boar, Ronan's Dolphin, and/or An Dubhaigeainn's Duck would be icing on the cake.
- I prefer the blue/purple end of the spectrum over the red/orange end.
- I prefer the hands that are easy to read/write over the ones that are fancy and time consuming.
