Being that
the House of Shalott is the founding
Household of the Isle of Standauffish Guild,
the History of Shalott is intricately woven,
much as the Tapestry of the Lady of Shalott,
throughout this website and is presently an
on-going living history. Baron Sir Zorgon of
Shalott, Viceroy of the Isle of Standauffish
has brought together many individuals from
diverse backgrounds to create a dream. Read
through our histories, browse through our
galleries and see where all this has led.
Many of our members have portfolios as they
create their personas and bring them to
life. These can be viewed from our member
rosters found in each household page. There
is much to be seen here.
The House of
Shallot has now moved to the Isle and now
resides in the Port of Shalott, the Capitol
of the Isle. A great new chapter is about to
unfold as we work to build our Enchanted
Realm, a place where our Characters and
History will come to life, mixed with a
touch of Mythology and Fantasy to make it
fun. If you seek a dream to be part of then
contact any of our groups and join us in our
quest of the dream. Early History of the House of Shalott This is the beginning, where it all began. Many of those who helped create this dream have since moved on, but their memories and participation still lives on in these pages. One day perhaps they may find their way back to our shores, or our paths may cross in this world we have created, as in fact they already have at several recent events. |

The Port of Shalott is the Capitol of the Isle
of Ynys Pyre (Piro's Island) found just off
the coast of Wales a couple miles from Tenby,
the ancient home of the Tudor Merchant
household. The Isle is the home of the Guild
and was deeded to Baron Sir Zorgon by King
Henry VII for services rendered in his war to
take the crown of England. We live in the late
15th Century, a Welsh Protectorate under the
Prince of Wales. Our history has been created
to allow many newcomers to write their own
place in our living story and thus make a home
for themselves in our safe harbour.
The Port is now the centre of activities for
the Guild. The Shoppes, the Taverns, The Guild
Halls all have a home here. Ships leave our
docks to sail the Seven Seas and bring goods
from the four corners of the Known
Worlde. The Various Orders, Guilds and
Households that have lands on the Isle all
have representation here. It is the hub
of commerce, entertainment and social
activities for the Guild.
Our Merchant Mariner concept allows our citizens to enjoy the riches and bounty that comes from a wealthy Merchant focus of the Isle. We are Merchants, we are Artisans, we are Entertainers and perhaps a few warriors will find us to their liking and rally to the defence of the Isle and all those principals we hold so dear. Hence our Motto that we live our history by: "Unicum in Diversicum"
The
History of the House of Shalott and the
Port IS the history of the Isle
and is found in the Great Book, the
chronological living History Tome of the
Isle of Standauffish Renaissance Guild. Join
us and write your own chapter, no matter how
brief your stay with us may be.
