Royal Preferences

Background

His Majesty King Athos (He prefers to be called by this nickname) is from the lower regions of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium) during the time of Justinian I (527 AD – 565 AD). He served as a Sergeant of Madrone until he was recognized as a member of the Order of Chivalry.

King Athos is a social butterfly so please feel free to stop and say hello. He embraces expanding His participation within our society and is eager to experience new-to-him activities. He particularly enjoys learning about the passions that draw people in and keep them playing.

His current interests fall mainly around the martial disciplines: heavy (armored) combat, fencing, archery, and thrown weapons.

His Majesty Athos’s heraldic colors are Sable, Argent, and Gules. He likes to wear rich blues, purples, and greens typical of the Byzantine era. His primary symbol is a Sable Griffin passant with Gules tongue and claws.

Her Majesty Alianora is from late 14th Century England. She has grown up in the SCA and was the First Princess Royale of Calontir. Queen Alianora has served as an officer for local branches and the Kingdom of An Tir; most recently as Kingdom Seneschal. Well-run meetings with a clear agenda delight Her.

Queen Alianora loves animals such as horses, birds, turtles, cats, and dogs. She definitely wants to pet yours and perhaps give them a treat (if it’s ok with you). Sometimes, Her Majesty brings her own Royal Canine to events with Her.

Her Majesty enjoys fanciness in many forms. Displays of Heraldry and Pageantry, witty speech, beautiful encampments, embellishment on clothing and accessories, adding musical ambiance with singing, instrumental music, or trumpet fanfares are some of her favorites. She would love to know what yours are!

Queen Alianora is interested in learning all the things and has been focusing lately on pewter casting, calligraphy, embroidery, improving Her camp, and fiber arts.

Her Majesty Alianora’s Heraldic colors are argent, sable, and azure. She prefers to wear jewel-tone colors with embellishments.

Food and Drink Preferences

Queen Alianora likes a wide variety of foods.

Her Majesty does not have any food allergies or intolerances although She has a limited tolerance for spicy foods: medium spice will suffice. She does not care for licorice flavors including fennel, licorice, and anise.

Drinks: Queen Alianora quenches Her thirst with (a plentiful supply of) coffee, both iced and warm, with milk and a little sugar. Water with lemon is nice, and the Queen wholeheartedly enjoys Diet Pepsi. Please do not offer Her root beer. It will be politely but firmly refused.
