Ethereal
From EastKingdomWiki
"Ethereal" is the term modern SCAdians use to refer to activities taking place primarily over the internet.
During the Modern Plague of 2020, like the rest of the world, the SCA had to pivot to online events as in-person events had to be canceled. Regardless of plagues, ethereal events are likely to continue to feature as a tool and compliment to in-person events for the foreseeable future. The benefits of ethereal events is that they offer a level of access to those who might struggle to attend live events, as well as fostering collaboration (and sometimes competition) between far-flung reaches of the Known World.
Notable Ethereal Events in the East Kingdom
