Although they don't try to re-enact
specific events from history books, they do try and stay
in-period
during the various events they attend. Each chapter has
a person named the Herald who helps them research a persona
to become.
When Michelle attends a function, she is no longer
the rural route mail delivery mother of seven from Smithers.
She becomes her Ladyship Josephine Blackthorn, from the
year 1550, born of a high-society French woman and a Scottish
ship Captain. She has her own crest which has been approved
and registered with the SCA Board of Directors.
She
maintains
the position of "Seneschal" which means that
she is responsible for the Shire, and "Marshal" where she
must
oversee
all combat related activities. There are 15 members
in the Smithers Shire of Tir Bannog - a number that has
been steadily
growing since 1996.
