[Ponte Alto] Academie d'Espee

[sigrune at aol.com]

Ok, I am a bit confused, let me know if I have this straight.

Are blue scarfs regulated (per the Academie d' Espee, for Scholars), or 
is that just something any authorized fencer may wear?

Gold(Yellow) scarfs are only worn by Free Scholars named by the 
regulations of the Academie d' Espee

White scarfs are worn by those granted the Award of the White Scarf 
(Kingdom Grant) and may call themselves a member of the Order of the 
White Scarf.  If one is a member of the Academie d' Espee (and duly 
authorized by the Academie) one additionally may title themself as 
Provost of the Academie.

So if someone who had been awarded a white scarf from say, AnTir came 
to Atlantia, they would still be:
Lord SoandSo,  Order of the White Scarf, but would not have rank in the 
Academie...

Thus theoretically there is the possibility that one granted a white 
scarf from another kingdom might wear a white scarf, and another color 
if they are members of the Academie but not yet be acknowledged as a 
Provost.

Anyone ever given any thought to putting something easily identifiable 
on the Acadeime scarves?  Like a Blue and white fringe... that way it 
would be immediately apparent Academie status... (for those 
non-academie folks)  And plus it is more spiffy bling-bling :)

One point of clarification...

One does not have to be a member of the guild "Academie d' Espee" to be 
awarded a White Scarf.  The White Scarf is a Grant-level Kingdom award 
that has nothing to do with the guild, other than having "Academie 
d'Espee" in its title.  Recipients of the White Scarf who are members 
of the guild may style themselves as "Provost of the Academie" if they 
wish, but it is not a requirement.
