Alina's Wardrobe


Who am I?  -  Contents of My Wardrobe  -  Contents of My Head

Being a compendium of SCA-related projects, ideas, and links.

Who am I?

I am a Alina Silverthorne, a townswoman in 1580s London whose husband left to join the British naval forces to fight against the Spanish Armada.  I make my living by needle and thread, and I wait patiently for my husband to give up this nautical nonsense and come home.

That's it.  No cross-continental caravans, no kidnapping by gypsies, no rich foreign lords swept off their feet by my devastating beauty.  Sorry.

Okay, I know the picture shows me in a court gown.  Consistency is the mark of a small mind.
