This booklet was written and put together by Mistress Rowan Perigrynne and Lady Yseult de Lacy. The introduction was loosely based on an article written by Mistress Siobhan Medhbh O'Roarke. The illustrations were either drawn by Mistress Rowan or Lady Yseult, taken from the Known World Handbook, or copied from medieval books such as the Lutterel Psalter.
It is a forty nine pages of basic information anyone coming into the SCA can use and is downloadable with illustrations in *.doc format, in *.txt format without illustrations (for those with very old computers) and coming soon in *.exe format (so anyone can view it even without a document program)
