The SCA is devoted to the research and re-creation of pre-seventeenth century skills, arts, combat, culture, and employing knowledge of history to enrich the lives of participants through events, demonstrations, and other educational presentations and activities. In the SCA I'm know as Lynnette de Sandoval del Valle de los Unicornios.
