Pennefer attended his first SCA event at the Barony of Naevehjem's Frost Dragon Anniversary and became enamored with what the SCA was and what it provided to him; however mundane life prevented him from being fully immersed for about a year or two. When he returned; however, he jumped in with both feet and began integrating into his new home by assisting as deputy Chatelaine and then later as Baronial Herald. After a year of service, Meredithe received his Award of Arms on 11/11/2017 from TRM Alexander and Tahira and was elevated to the Office of the Chatelaine for the Barony of Naevehjem that same day. After some time learning and studying the SCA, he found his passions and began devoting his time and energy to heraldry and teaching and finding means to improve the experiences of the Society for all people he has met. He began working closely with Mistress Eridana Ambra Dragotta, Dolphin Herald on the heraldic process, understanding the rules of heraldry submissions, and was taken under her tutelage and as her deputy for submissions.
Persona
Hemneter Pennefer was born in the winter months to a lector priest and priestess of Egypt and, as such, was dedicated to the life of the temple almost immediately.
Throughout his childhood years, he took care of the chores and upkeep of the temple, sometimes being sent to temples of other regions to assist with their care. When the time came for his studies, he was instructed in reading and writing, aiding in transcribing the ritual texts for his father, and learned heka (the magical arts) and medicines from his mother at home.
In his early adolescence, Pennefer was dedicated as a wab priest to the temple his family served and began his work with aiding in rituals and ceremonies, making house calls to the sick and those afflicted with curses, and assisting the sem priests in preparing the funeral services of the community.
While on travel to the kingdom capital to deliver missives on the state of his community, he encountered a woman afflicted with a bout of illness and had collapsed on the road he was on. Taking her to one of the temples, and under his care, he was able to restore the woman to full health and it was only then that he learned she was one of the attendants of the royal court. As a token of her gratitude, the young woman granted him a tour of the palace and while he was out appreciating their gardens, he crossed paths with the Great Royal Wife, the queen of the land, Tsyra tsheree Nanoup.
Receiving the honor of an audience, they spent a great deal of time conversing to the point Pennefer forgot to attend to the temple he intended to visit for his father! When the high priest learned who he was with though, all was quickly forgotten and forgiven. Having enjoyed his company during his visit there, the Queen extended an invitation to have Pennefer serve on her court as companion and within the month, he relocated to the capital and to the temple of the Pharaoh.
Through years of service and dedication, Pennefer rose up the ranks of the priesthood and then one summer morning, before the Pharaoh and Queen, he was appointed hem-netjer-tepi (high priest) and oversaw the Temple of Hathor at Dendere. His task was to oversee the temples religious services, officiate the high holidays, ensure medicines and spells were transcribed and stocked, and serve as advisor to the Queen whom a deep friendship had formed.
Things were truly beneficial to Pennefer especially over the course of his many years studying and serving. And then one night, during a great storm that covered the lands of the Nile, Pennefer noticed an odd soldier donned in armor unfamiliar to him sitting and trying to take shelter. Noticing his wounds, he aided the soldier back to the palace and tended to his lacerations.
During his period of recovery, the soldier was able to carry decent conversation, having been somewhat familiar of the language of the land. His name was Arcadius from the lands of Messenia and he told Pennefer of his home, their culture, and the variety of knowledge he had picked up on his travels.
Fascinated in this, a new friendship was sought and forged with this soldier and in exchange for introducing him to Egyptian craftsmanship and their tactics of warfare, Pennefer learned of their medicines, their gods and the ancient stories, as well as unique knowledge of this culture’s way of life. Overeager to learn more, and after many requests, he finally received the blessings of the Pharaoh, and was given leave of his responsibilities to travel in order to bring back knowledge and goods from this unknown land for the benefit of the realm.
And so Pennefer set out to new adventures, seeing new lands, and making new friends along the way. And this is where our story begins…
