Greetings, and welcome to Cynnabar! You're probably a bit overwhelmed and a little nervous.
Many people have probably used terms such as "SCA name", "AOA",
"feast gear", and "brass hat" around you, and it can make your head
spin. Fear not! We have provided a helpful list of links below. Hopefully, between this and
your newcomer handbook (see me or email me if you don't have one), you will have the necessary
tools to begin the experience of a lifetime.
We've all been new at some point, so please feel free to ask anyone a question. We also have
loaner garb for men, women, and children, so you don't have to worry about sewing a bunch of
stuff for your first few events.
The most important thing to remember is, HAVE FUN!
