[MR] Courtesans of Atlantia

by which definition do you mean?  the term courtesan has several meanings
dependent upon the time period by which it is used.  if you mean someone in
training to "act as a lady/lord of the court" i would suggest that all
squires should, hopefully, fit that bill.  the same would go for companions
to a lady of the rose.  so, to, would be any apprentice or protégé of their
respective peers.   now if you mean the equally as common role of flirts and
those whom engage in the role of a mistress that is another issue.  sure,
some folks find "flirting" to be acceptable.  and there is, in my opinion
unfortunately, a fair bit of that occurring in the sca and most other social
groups.  given how the term itself comes with two very different meanings i
would ask that you be more specific about your goal so as to avoid any
confusion or, possibly, mislabeling of those that may take on the moniker.

Good day, Lords and Ladies:

I'm curious as to whether or not there may be other courtesans within the
Kingdom of Atlantia?  I've been encouraged by several (many thanks for your
support and encouragement) to reach out to the Kingdom to discuss the
possibility of gathering a group of women who are not only skilled in the
arts and sciences familiar to these ladies of the late medieval times, but
who happily personify the intelligence, beauty and knowledge they did.  If
so, please take a moment to contact me off list.  I'm familiar with a guild
in the West Kingdom that has quite a following and would love to know if
others in this Kingdom would be interested in following suit?

With much thanks and in service,
Cassandra
