Welcome to the Æthelmearc College of Scribes & Illuminators Website
Welcome
Welcome to Scribal Arts! In AEthelmearc we have a tradition of providing an original piece of artwork called a scroll which is presented by the Royals during Royal Courts for award recipients. On average, between 400-500 scrolls are created every calendar year and we are passionate about helping new scribes get started, receive the resources and scribal education needed to grow and develop our current Kingdom scribes, artistically speaking.
Scribes are an inclusive group of people and we are _everywhere_ in our Sylvan Kingdom of AEthelmearc.
Take a few minutes, cruise around this webpage and get familiar with what we do. If you are not a scribe, drop us a line and we can help you get started.
Remember, ~once a scribe, always part of the tribe!
