This was another collaboration with Nataliia Anastasiia Evgenova Sviatoslavina vnuchka, who is always a pleasure to work with. She initially asked me to translate text she had already written, but quickly got behind my writing the text from scratch based…
Russian Scroll Text – Order of the Laurel for Lada Monguligin
This is probably my favorite text that I’ve done – at the very least, it’s tied for first place with Ruslan’s Tyger. Lada is a friend, and one of the few SCAdians who, like me, is a native Russian speaker.…
Russian Scroll Text – Writ for Pelican for Alexei Dmitriev
This was a shorter piece, and due to the scheduling of it I had very little time to write it. Unfortunately, that means I can’t find my notes – I certainly worked from some period source, the phrasing isn’t something…
Russian Scroll Text – Order of the Silver Tyger for Johanne Jensen Mikkenen
Nataliia wrote the original version of the text, based on a Russian poem known in English as “The Lay of Igor” or “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign”, a poem about events that took place in 12C. The provenance of the…

Russian Scroll Text – Ordre de Cheval et Lion for Ivan Leskov

Russian scroll text – Tyger of the East for Ruslan Novgorodcev
This is the sevent scroll text I’ve done (for those keeping score – the fourth one has not yet been given out, so no blog post yet). It is for a Tyger of the East, probably the East Kingdom’s most…
Russian scroll text – Order of the Maunche for Katrusha Skomorokh
This is the fifth scroll text I’ve done (for those keeping score – the fourth one has not yet been given out, so no blog post yet). It is for the Order of the Maunche, the East Kingdom Order of…
Russian scroll text – King’s Order of Excellence for Dziuginte Litovka
This is the third scroll text I’ve done. It’s a King’s Order of Excellence, the East Kingdom award for excellence in persona. The text was inspired by the Charter of Great Knyaz Ivan Danilov to Pecheran falconer Zhile and others…
Russian scroll text – Silver Crescent for Tysha z Kieva
This is the second scroll text I’ve done. It’s a Silver Crescent, the East Kingdom award of High Mert for service. The text was inspired by the Charter of great knyaz Dmitrii Ivanovich to Andrey Friazin about awarding him support…
