Barony vs Backlog: Carolingia Edition

Illuminators, Calligraphers, Scribes, Wordsmiths and Good Gentles, please join the Barony of Carolingia as we come together to work on the Kingdom's backlog of scrolls.

We have the day set aside for Scribes of all proficiencies to gather with us to work collaboratively on the gifts of artistry celebrating the accomplishments of our fellow tygers.  This is meant as a low key event, so low key you don't need garb!  Don't worry about paint and ink on your good garb, this event is GARB OPTIONAL.

11am Designing for the Recipient.  - Aaradyn Ghyoot - "That looks like it fell out of a manuscript!" If you have ever wanted to hear that praise, this is the class for you.  Learn how to create a scroll that matches both the recipient and the art from their period. 

12pm Building Scrolls without a Book of Hours.  - Aaradyn Ghyoot - Books of hours are fantastic, but not the only source out there!  Learn to create period scrolls from sources you may have never considered are an actual source!

If you would like to participate in the creation of a backlog scroll, the Backlog Deputy will be there, so you can get an assignment on the day.

Come support the Scribes and socialize!  We have plenty of space to relax and enjoy each other's company.  We'll have music and children's activities.
Low Company will be playing period games in the afternoon, please join in!

Do you have scribal supplies you no longer need? We will have a sharing table where you can bring those supplies to share with the wider community.  Any supplies left at the end of the day will be put together into scribal kits for later distribution.
