Lela The Skald

During most Bruna's courtyard wars, Lela stood upon barrels or crates, urging on her sisters with inspirational quotes and songs of heroic deeds she learned from her father's minstrels. Her delicate hands faltered with swords and daggers; but the same fingers that strummed harps and lyres, strummed her bow with deadly accuracy. Lela's pets, a peregrine falcon and merlin hawk could often be seen circling the mock battles.

After Meave's marriage to the Elven Prince, (Carraennon) Lela spent much time in the wild Elven forests with some of their greatest hunters. She learned the song of the forest, the calls of the animals, and the tranquility of nature. Lela continued to sing inspiring hymms and rally the troops throughout the length of the war and served in the ranks of Elven arches that Carraennon sent. In addition, she trained falcons and hawks to be used as surprise attack forces.

With the destruction of so much of her now beloved forests, Lela grew despondant. When Balder offered her a chance to save another wild land she accepted without hesitation. Lela left her sisters and Oberon for the Wide Plains of the Almec. The Almec taught her the songs of this new land and Lela, in turn, taught them songs and chants of praise to the gods. Together they battled against a small contingent of Torches intent on destroying the landscape. Decades after their victory, in the tradition of the Almec, Lela's body was ringed with flowers and burned. Her ashes were then used to make the bricks for the Great Temple of The Lord and Lady.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.

 

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.

 

Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.

As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.

We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.

Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.

Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"

A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?

After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...

Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
