[MR] daily kingdom history fact

[Stephen Kiefert]

The Kingdom newsletter is called the Acorn, not sharing a nautical theme with 
the rest of the kingdom’s awards and titles.  Before there was an Atlantia, 
there was a barony in the East kingdom called Myrkwood, the territory of which 
originally included Pennsylvania, Delaware and all of Atlantia. The branch 
device was an oak tree and no laurel wreath, predating that requirement.  Vuong 
Manh put out an unofficial  newsletter for SCA, Markland, and kindred folk in 
the barony named the Acorn, and it continued to be the de facto newsletter for 
the mid-Atlantic area as it became a region of the East, then a principality and 
a  kingdom, at which time it became an official SCA publication as the kingdom 
newletter.
