Pensamientos de Miguel

¡Bienvenidos! Miguel Flores doth bid you good tidings.

Please enjoy some food and drink. As mi abuela was fond of saying, panza llena corazón contento.

In my journeys I have found myself in the Kingdom of Æthelmearc, specifically the Shire of Hunter’s Home.

It is my personal honor and pleasure to wear the blue scarf given to me by the Most Esteemed Señor His Excellency Don Quinn Kerr as a token of our contract for my continued study of the art and science of defense.

My sword has joined the Southern Watch in defending our Sylvan Kingdom. I am also a valet to the honorable Anias Fenne within House Avarim, which household also serves with the Southern Watch in times of war.

If this is very confusing, perhaps an introduction to the SCA is in order.
