About Me

I began my SCA journey in 2015 in the Barony of Rivenstar, of the Kingdom of the Middle.

After having to take a several year break due to college and then life becoming far too busy and complicated, I rejoined the SCA in early 2023, still in the Middle Kingdom but having taken up residence in the Shire of Mynydd Seren, where I reside to this day.

I participate actively in fencing and what some would call far too many A&S disciplines (though I’m inclined to disagree).

I currently serve as the Exchequer, MOAS, and Webminister of the Shire of Mynydd Seren, and the Exchequer and Provost of the Royal University of the Midrealm.

I am also the Guildmaster and Treasurer of the Midrealm Moneyer’s Guild.


Persona

Parzival is a traveling courtier hailing from 14th century Germany. He has traveled far and wide across the land to serve various courts as a minter of coins, exchequer (keeper of financial records), and scholar of numismatics (study of currency, its forms and creation, and commerce). During times of relaxation in the court, he may entertain his fellows with a performance of song, music, juggling, or a demonstration of “mystical card conjuring arts”.

He is a trained fencer, and is a student of both Spanish and Italian disciplines. During his travels, he is always sure to take an opportunity to learn something in the ways of both art and combat of the cultures he experiences.


Beyond the SCA

My crafting extends far beyond the Middle Ages. Before rejoining the SCA, I was already an avid hobbyist DIY-er, prop maker, cosplayer, and collector. I am not as up to date with my portfolio, but you can find those socials HERE.

In addition to my personal projects, I have a small business (Adamantus Artifacts LLC) to take commissions in basically any artistic discipline I do. Commission information is available on the Socials & Contact page.


My Heraldry

Primary Device

Alternate Device

Knowing that the ermine of my primary heraldry would be near impossible for any scribe or embroiderer, I have an alternative badge registered without the ermine for when it needs depicting in small scale
