"I have truly never witnessed anything like this before."
-Baron Halfdan while watching the Fabric Melee.
The Barony of Selviergard, Oertha--The Barony of Selviergard celebrated the Spring season with a Fabric War amid the majestic mountains and bright sunlight in Central Selviergard. The event was Autocratted by Domina Nemonna Vicana who brought the event idea with her from the Stellar Kingdom of Atenveldt where it has become a tradition. The idea of the event was to get rid of old, unwanted fabric and lawfully acquire new pieces to add to your collection. Other items besides fabric were included as well; including books, trim, and other SCA related trinkets and bits and pieces.
The site opened with several people, with boxes in tow, setting up shop for others to peruse and ogle over on. Many fabrics in all different shades, hues, and patterns were flamboyantly displayed with the hopes of catching a prospective buyer's eye. Some people were already bartering, buying, or trading off fabric before it was even set out onto the tables provided; a sure sign of a good day.
