About Ivan Shield Bane

Background

Ivan Shieldbane is an Anglo Saxon adventurer from the Migration Era. Ivan can be found in the tournament Eric or on the war field if there is a contest of skill he enjoys watching. Ivan really enjoys a good story and the song and passion performers bring to the bardic circle. Ivan enjoys earth tones and dark colors, but generally doesn’t give such much thought.

Food and Drink Preferences

He is an enjoyer of foods from all over the world. Ivan is minimizing alcohol consumption. He prefers to drink Gatorade, iced tea, and of course, water.

About Mina de filia Philipe

Background

Mina de filia Philipe’s persona is that of a 14th century Navarrian woman. She loves archery, arts, and evenings around the campfire. Mina can often be found watching tournament fighting, working gate, watching her children’s activities, or socializing with… well, pretty much anyone. Her greatest joy in the SCA is the people. The bonds of friendship and family forged with those near and far are what brings the Dream to life for her.
Her favorite colors are blue, teal, and silver.

Food and Drink Preferences

Mina will try most any foods. She is particularly fond of pasta, bread, and tacos! She likes most all fruits and fresh vegetables, though strawberries are her favorite. She prefers sweet over salty. She does not like raw onions, fish, stinky cheese, or cooked broccoli. Mina does not drink alcohol. She prefers sweetened tea (hot or iced), Pepsi, and fruit juices.

Amalric Blackhart and Z

About Amalric Blackhart

Background
Amalric Blackhart (he/him) started playing in the SCA in AS XVI and later squired into the lineage of Edward Zifran of Gendy. Amalric was knighted on the battlefield at Pennsic 23. This year is his 30th anniversary as a Knight. Reigned as King in two Kingdoms: the first in Atlantia AS XXXIV, and then in An Tir AS XLI. He enjoys fighting, music with friends around a campfire (campfire optional), leather & wood working, armoring, sewing, brewing, archery & thrown weapons, and anything else that seems fun at the time! Z inspires him to be the best he can be both on and off the field with the love and appreciation they show him.

Can be seen dressed in all colors, but favors black, blood red, and Summits colors.

Food and Drink Preferences
Mostly omnivorous, Amalric is happy with most food but especially likes smoked meats. Spicy is good, too. Not a big fan of hops in beer, he prefers a more malty flavor, or even better, mead that is slightly sweet and effervescent.

At present on a carbs free diet, thus tragically the beer and mead are off the menu.

About Z

Background
Z (they/them/he) found the SCA at An Tir West War in AS LII, but has been far more active in the last two years. Holds a strong passion for tea across all times and cultures, from the cultivation of leaf to the ceremony of serving. Similarly, they have an affinity for all dragons across time and cultures. Crochet is a constant fidget for them, and they indulge in the squishable plushie.

Looking to broaden the scope of the SCA beyond the well trodden, with a particular interest in exploring areas in the Mesoamerican, Ottoman, and any other interesting cultures. Not especially interested in any one time frame, thus still time traveling and exploring.

Favorite colors are various shades of gray with a leaning toward cooler grays, blue, and of course black.

Food and Drink Preferences
Z can’t eat gluten or sugar, and pork just doesn’t agree with them.
Has a fondness for red meats and soft cheeses.
Preferred drinks are unsweetened teas, adult seltzers, and occasionally red wine.
