Branwyn. The meeting started at noon and the last brother left
at 8 pm! Twas a wonderful day. We opened with a circle and
followed with making Lyssa a silver level. Lady Branwyn is
happy to announce to all Thunder Brothers and Sisters that
AElfric has been named the Patriarch of Thunder Gorge. Please
send your congratulations and words of support to him at

Mae's, about 4 pm then returned to Branywn's home for long
goodbyes.

This page first went on line October 4, 1997, and in that time a
lot of changes have happened with thunder especially here on the
internet and e-mail. Mom is now on line! Welcome to the
twenty-first..I mean...the sixteenth century
and Rolling Thunder on line! I admit to being remiss in keeping
this page updated with Thunder Happenings of late, and for that
I appologize. If I could figure out how to get along with no
sleep, there would be just about enough hours in the day to take
care of everything.
Seigneur Marc-Antoine de Laclos (Grog) of House Rogue Thunder,
however has NOT been so remiss in keeping Thunder's house in
order and has created a wonderful webpage that will include all
the Thunderlinks you need. To access Grog's Page click
here.
To the best of my knowledge, the links below are accurate,
however, if you have any updates or changes that I don't know
about, wish a link added to your page or one you have found that
you think is A common interest to Thunder, drop me a line!
As usual, watch for the
"new" flags as you revisit for the things that have been
added.
Reginald
A Short History of
Thunder Gorge
Our
founding Patriarch and Matriarch, Lord Brendan Coyle and Lady
Isabelle Boshette met as members of Rolling Thunder in what is
now the Kingdom of Drachenwald (Germany) and were very active
members of both the SCA and their Rolling Thunder household.
After relocating to the Baronies of Caerthe and Dragonsspine
respectively in the Kingdom of the Outlands and renewing their
friendship, they felt a need to perpetuate the ideals of Rolling
Thunder.
At Fall Family Feast in 1991 the proposal was made
to create a group in their home baronies. After approval, a name
had to be selected. The name, Thunder Gorge, comes from the
famous bridge known as the Royal Gorge
near the Shire of Aarquelle just south of the Barony of
Dragonsspine.
The original founding members of Thunder
Gorge, Lord Reginald of the Fells, Lord Corwyn ap Branwyn, and
Lady Branwyn ni Ceallaigh (our current Matriarch) were invited
into the household at Estrella VIII in 1992 followed soon after
by Lord Galen and Lord (now Baron) Knut. The current Household
consists of 15 members and continues to grow.
As the size
of our membership grows, so grows our geographical area. Our
membership has expanded nearly to the Wyoming Border. Our
Matriarch, Lady Branwyn, has personally appointed Aelfric of the Black Arrow
as her official representative in the far reaches of the
Northern Outlands. For more information on Thunder in the
north, he can also be reached at (303) 635-0253.
The
background for this page is an actual scan of Lady Branywn's
thunderwheel and lightning bolt. She is proud to be a part of
the ideals and friendship and brotherhood it represents, honored
to wear it, and happy to have it be a part of our clans'
presentation to all who visit here.

Rogue Thunder's thunderchat room is not
currently available. I received the following message from
Grog: The chat room has officially bit the big one. It was a
good idea but the medium stunk. We now have the choice of going
to IRC or getting everyone on ICQ. I'm going to send a copy of
this message to all the Thunders on ICQ. I'll also send email to
all the others. Let's get together and make a decision on this
before it falls by the wayside." Please send e-mail direct to
Grog if you have any comments or suggestions. (Note: this is a
new e-mail address for him.) Don't let this great idea fade
away like an old soldier. If there is interest in downloading
IRC or ICQ software leave mail to Reginald and links to these
will be added here also.
The following clans do
not yet have internet links. If you know a link to any of these
or find any link errors, please inform Lord Reginald and they will
be added.
