Years of 2005 to 2011 Summary

As completion of the treansformation from one anachronism group to the Adrian Empire is now completed the story below is the history of the Household of Phasiani lacus Manerium from the time it is was constructed to the time that it became recognized by the Arch Duchy of Connacht. We of Phasiani lacus Manerium hope to continue to grow, and to support the Arch Duchy of Connacht along with the Adrian Empire, and that as one grows will be able to present themselves with the interest and likings of creative anachromisn from 1066AD to 1603AD.

2005 to 2011 Feb we of Phasiani lacus Manerium was an unofficial household to the SCA, we of the household have transformed, and were recognized as an interest group in Connacht until December 2011 when Phasiani lacus Manerium became an official household.

I Lady Christiana have spent many hours preparing these web blogs, and others as well, as within 2011 Master Kasper created the Woodcarvers Guild and it is hoping shortley that Lady Christiana have created the vestiarium Guild. All that remains is the approval of the guild's charter. It is hope that Phasiani lacus Manerium will be around for a long time, enjoying the arts and fruits of our labor along with those interested in becoming that of knight status.

Currently as of 2011 Phasiani lacus Manerium holds three life time members and three regular members, and it is hope that the members will participate in events that are hosted by Connacht and the Adrian Empire, along with sessions within the household, be it interest in embroidery, culinary arts, archery, or even in the guild activities that members of the household have founded.

I Christiana will continue to post and publish photos of events that members of Phasiani lacus may attend, along with short stories of our members. For members of the household, if you wish to create a web blog, or would like to connect yours to our household web blog please contact Lady Christiana.

Do to reasons of pague, and mundane reasons the members of Phasiani lacus Manerium were unable to attend the event but that did not stop Lady Christiana in participation in the Arts and Sciences with her entery of weaving cards, and archery where she won the bowsman catagory for target shooting. Christiana also participate in an Arts project for Medieval Madness on Feb 11th 2012 where she assisted in making a number of heraldic decorative devices for the feast tables. The event was follow by a pot luck feast of which Christiana presented devil eggs, and she was also presented at closing court recognition in the arts and sciences and award for her wnning of the bowsman's archery tournament.

Changes in the Wind 2011

As the year of 2011 closes out, M'Lord Kasper standing around the fire pit warning his hands enjoyed the event, and was recognized for his talents as this was the event that would see him on the journey to become the guild master to the Woodcarvers Guild, his longing dream has been fullfilled. He was also to try his hand at archery, and by a chance of luck had hit the center of the target. Wonder if he could do that one again, but archery is now becoming a secnd choice for him. The event is known as Winter's Coming. Below is Mistress Christiana overlooking while the archer tam adds up the scores of both before retrieving arrows for the next round of six.



Mistress Christiana giving a demo on drop spinning using a drop spinal that she made the previous week prior to the arts and sciences entry. Christiana enter a number of drop spinals of varying design and weights into the arts and sciences and had manage to score a journeyman's win in the arts and sciences at Winter's Coming, November 19th 2011.



Day of the Dead, a war tourament that took place from October 22 to the 23rd. M'Lord Kasper and Mistress Christiana attended the event and have taken in a number of happenings. Below a photo of Christiana and the duke going at it in Shini for Christiana to be carded in the marshal arts of shini, rapier, and the use of the dagger, which would also go towards her carding in combat archery.

Master Kasper during his usual thing while attending the Day of the Dead, playing the lute, and on Sunday giving a try in target archery. Master Kasper in his trip from the far homelands of Sask, made his trip prior to the event for mundane reasons, and stayed to attend two events during October and November. Hazzah to Master Kasper for attending and to be part of Phasiani lacus Manerium.

Saturday night was a little different as most wore their period garb, but also wore mask to the Day of the Dead. Although it was fun, the mask got hot for both of us and we had to shed the second skin, and thus Kasper and Christiana played an insturmental music beat prior to dance training. Account of Kasper leg acting up (mundanely) Christiana was not able to part take in all of the three dances been offer but was able to take in two of the circle dances. Maybe next time. Should mention that Saturday was a pot luck of which a number of dishes of food were offer.

A part of Christiana's participation she enter two different pies, one been mushroom pasties, and the vension pie. These would be served later at the pot luck. The entries did not win but did count towards Christiana's arts participation point. Christiana and Kasper on Sunday partake in the archery shoot.

On the September long weekend in 2011, Mistress Esther, Master Kasper and Mistress Christiana attended the Imperial Wars. Mistress Christiana would win the bowman's shoot, and would score 29 pts on the Arts and Sciences with her X chair. Master Kasper have tried a bit of target archery Saturday morning while Christiana arrived mid morning on Saturday and was busy setting up the camp. Kasper and Esther arrived Friday night, but would depart Sunday afternoon for their trip back to his homeland of Sask.

Here shown is the matching set of x chair and the stool. The chair was the arts and sciences entery into Imperial Wars 2011 Arts and Sciences.

Saturday, Mistress Christiana would part take in Combat Archery, and she prepared to do some combat fighting on Sunday for carding, but unfortunately that evening she was stung by a yellow jacket hornet that caused her shooting hand (archery) to become swollen. She was able to participate in the long distance archery shoot and won the bowsman shoot even with her swollen hand and wrist. It was a close call for her for the hospital. Kasper played his lute at Saturday's night bard, while Christiana and Esther told of stories.

The two stools present to their graces of the Duchy of Connacht at Imperial Wars September 2011.

There were other events that were attended, but it would only be attended by Christiana as Master Kasper and others were occupied with mundane life isses of distance, monies and work. Strange how these things can get in the way, but prior to Imperial Wars and after Neverending Knight Christiana would be much on her own in participating at Connacht events. These events beginning with the latest and working to earliest are posted below.

Insurrection: Christiana was the only one in attendance from Phasiani lacus Manerium to attend in the Arts and Sciences, and target archery. She enter a fruit pie for the arts and sciences, and she would also take a class in card weaving.

Wolfgang: June 2011 Christiana would participate in archery and the teaching of a class in needlework of blackwork.

Banner Wars: 2011 Last weekend of May, Christiana would participate in arts and sciences with a celtic norman harp cross, and would play both in Combat archery and target archery while attending the event for one day, although the event would run from Friday night to Sunday, but due to poor weather Christiana made it as a one day event. Kasper was in town but due to mundane reasons could not make the event.

Stepping down Coronet: May 2011. This would be the first recogized event that Christiana would attend of where she would earn a few points. This would be in Combat archery on Saturday, and her Arts and Science project of Roast Kid. Because of mundane events happening with Kasper and other members Christiana was the only one to attend, and almost did not make the event account of vehicle problems and health issues.

The first time that Christiana set up her new pavilion at Stepping Down Coronet, to find out the problems of the pavilion. The site did present some wind issues on Saturday, and did take down a couple of other Connacht member's tents, Christiana's pavilion took the winds with grace. Also this would set in motion of how to reduce the amount of items to be transported to events.

A view of the interior of Christiana's pavilion interior. Shown in the background is the old heraldic devices that were never approved, but new devices flags and badges have since been made and approved by the Adrian Empire as of October 2011. A rampart griffin of gule maintaining three arrows on an argent field (badge) and battlement of sable on or with a rampart griffin maintaining three arrows on argent (flag) and a rampart griffin of gule maintaining three arrows on argent field, with a cheif of azure. At the same time Master Kasper Device was also approved - a viking ship of gule on a arget field with a point of azure.

Needlework of blackwork been preformed by Mistress Christiana - an ongoing project for March to Jan 2013. Completed it will be the outer shell of an Elizabethan Coif.

Teaching of class of blackwork needlework at Wolfgang tourney to ten other members of Connacht where Christiana would earn a DI point in ministry.

2011 was the year of change and the change was not an easy one as one has to undergo a number of situlations and weigh the weights of change. Although the household was unofficially formed in the SCA, it served to fullfill the needs of a few that were not welcome into other household and social circles. Since the time that Christiana joined the SCA in 2005 she was much left to herself, and it was not until 2007 that she would have a friend that has similar interest to attend anachromisn events. Master Kasper would be the first and it would be another few years before the numbers in household membership would increase.

It was at Tournament of Roses 2011 that things begun to sour when it was decided that the household would leave the SCA and search out new routes for our enjoyment in the anachronism arts. By decision the night of Tournament of Roses the household made the decision to leave the SCA and in during so there were a number of routes that one could take. One of these routes would lead the membership for the most part to join the Adrian Empire, from a previous invitation from 2007 to attend on of the events. It was to take place the following week after Tournament of Roses to attend a demo in Oyama where the members of the household would be welcome, but changes would mean loosing the household status for a pre set period of time, along with trying to increase the membership roster in the household. Master Kasper, Master Erick, Mistress Esther, Mistress Meredith the hahn and Mistress Christiana would attend the demo and between Master Kasper, Mistress Esther and Mistress Christiana would set up a small display of what we can offer to the Duchy of Connacht. It would not be until Neverending Knight that Bob the Guilty, Meredith, Erick and Esther beside Christiana would be attending with the exception of Bob the Guilty and Christiana not signing on as member to the Adrian Empire. Christiana would become a life member to the Adrian Empire April 2011, and Bob the Guilty a member in May of 2011. Since July 2011 Meredith and Erick the hahn decided to resign from Adrian, however the household did acquire Francine and Cat. Christiana was also planning on attending Golden Swan as a candiadate in 2011 but due to matters that was out of her hands, like the moving of the site to Rock Creek, she notified the judges that she was not going to participate and resign from the Golden Swan 2011.

January 12th Night Appledore would see Meredith the hahn and Christiana attend there second last event in the SCA together. Small and cozy it was an arts and sciences session follow by a pot luck feast and echange of gifts.

August 2010 - October 2010 - Change in the wind

A fitting for thy lady servant that was of great help while Lady Christiana participated in Golden Swan as a candidate for 2010. Although Christiana did not make the grade, she did learn what Golden Swan was about, and thus gained a great degree of knowledge from the experience of the challenge. Shown above is Meredith the hahn who has left the household in July of 2011.

The cloak used at Golden Swan 2010 during the duration of the event. It is linin lined with black wool as the outer shell. Shown here is the ten panel cloak waiting for hemming and final fitting.
Golden Swan 2010 would see Christiana as a candidate to try her best at attaining the title of a golden swan lady. Due to problems, Christiana did not succeed in this task, but just making the it to a candidate is a hard task, and there are few that get the chance to reach this task.

The chessboard, and Glastonbury chairs were part of the props used in Golden Swan 2010 for a game of chess as was a requirement under the Golden Swan rules of games. Meredith the haln would be the playing partner to Christiana while being judge and questioned by the Golden Swan judges 2010.

Also during the month of September was the preperations for Golden Swan 2010 a persona challenge that would lead to a many sleepless night in creating the props and clothing required to preform a persona as a wealthy middle class widow lady of the Elizabethan era. Here shown in the above photo is Meredith the haln trying a fitting for a servant's lady in waiting Elizabethan dress. Golden swan was attended by Meredith the haln, Ron Bickerton who served as an archery tam on Saturday while the golden swan ladies performed archery. Ron was taught archery tamming over a duration of three months before acting as tam for Golden Swan 2010 under the watchful eye of Christiana.

Musical Instrument Project September 2010- an on going project

September was a busy month for two of the member of Phasiani lacus Manerium that lead the way to creating musical instruments and a new experience in creating these instruments. Back in late 2009 the idea was brought forth, and the candle was lit to begin the research on the making of guitars and of course to find the suppliers for materials to make these insturments which was no easily task for brick and mortar stores in the Okanagan.

One of the lutes that was jointly made by Kasper and Christiana

A veiw of the harp that Christiana was also working on at the same time while making the guitars and lutes. It would be 9 months before the harp received its actions in April 2011.

Two weeks of hell, but an interesting hell, for thy Kasper and Christiana seek out the methods and techniques in making guitars and lutes. Kasper wished for two lutes, and a guitar, while Christiana worked on acquiring a Spanish guitar and lute as well. The two weeks of hell open up with creating the jigs, and a many broken pieces of wood while trying to form the sides of the instruments. Kasper worked on the installation of the frets, the final shaping of the necks and the action of the five newly born instruments that were playable after the two weeks. Lots of coffee, patience and of course a few short temper bouts, but success was accomplished in the making of these instruments and to set in motion the making of more at a later date. This was a joint effort between Kasper, Esther, and Christiana.

Circlets - order of two May 2010

Prior to Midsummer of 2010 a request from Kasper and Christiana was to be answer when Christiana tried her hand at making circlets. These circlets will not be used in Adria as they are far to wide, and that the title of lord or lady has not been issued to either, however while in the SCA from August 2009 Kasper and Christiana were entitled to wear the circlet as shown above. Only two of the circlet like the one above were ever made. This style of circlet for Lady Christiana has been retired November 2011 for a new circlet.

Year 2010 Jan - June year of growth???

Midsummer 2010

May 2010 the Shire of Appledore had its annual Appledore championship of which there were five contestants of which Christiana was one of these. Appledore's champion must be a well rounded person and must partake within a number of fields to qualify, of which are rapier, archery, heavy, arts and sciences and bard. Christiana was not qualified in heavy to fight but was able to gain a point for at least having a bit of the heavy fighting equipment, but made up for the lack in participating in the other fields.
