Places of Interest and the Dwellers Within
St.Calenda's Wandering Pageant, Odeum & Lunar Fair is made up of numerous locations, great and small, that make up the warp and weft of not only the day-to-day entertainments, but of the behind the scenes pageant members lives, loves and tribulations. The pageant comprises seventy odd wagons and half as many tents, but only twenty or so seem to have enough significance to count as landmarks in the nebulous night-scape of this traveling circus. Many of the locales serve as focal points for pageant-goers and pageant-folk alike.
Athenaeum
Mystics
Bekhet -- Lady "Beckett" has been with the pageant for as long as anyone can remember and is of Egyptian origin. She is the most senior and powerful of the mystics, often serving as a mentor to other will-workers and is the longtime companion of Bes the Dwarf. |

Court of the Erlking
The court of the Erlking is the least definable structure in the pageant, it serves as both boundary and border with the outside world. A double wall of heavily stained canvas serves to delineate the pageant from its mundane physical location, and thus the court possesses an indistinct liminal character, it is also a distinct if ephemeral place where the fae who travel with the pageant gather together in imitation of their long lost Arcadia.
Fae Courtiers
200px Astarte -- The Autumn Queen |

- -- Armen -- Armen is the youthful procurer of the Erotes and a inveterate flatterer.
- -- Nahum -- A beautiful Syrian brother and sister fused together by the dark powers of the pageant after they attempted to escape, they now serve as the camp's hermaphroditic prostitute.
- -- Rasmus -- A Danish youth whose athletic body and sexual stamina make him the work-horse of the Erotes, but whose own love never seems to be fulfilled. [New Member]
- -- Sámi -- A warrior of Finland whose love of sweet southern wines and lust for more refined pleasures drew him into the pageant and he now serves the retinue as both protector and jailer.
- -- Aldo -- The Retinue's latest acquisition, Aldo's child's body and adult attitude make him a valuable commodity and he also serves to control his more emotional brother Theo. [New Member]
- -- Theotleip -- The second of the Retinue's most recent additions, his athletic body, boyish ways and beauty serve to make him a jewel among the Erotes whose services do not come cheap. A favorite among homosexual pedophiles, he serves as the most recent honey-pot of the Erotes. [New Member]
- -- Frater Eadweard -- The Saxon priest has only just joined the Erotes, but he has quickly come to fill the recently vacant role of "Hymenaeus", an ancient position long held by an older male, usually a priest of one sort or another who officiates the acts of "sacred prostitution" giving these pleasures a acceptability.

Odeum
The Odeum serves as the locus of all dramatic and musical performances. But like many places within the domain of the pageant, it is amorphous, being made up of a dozen pageant-wagons that serve as a mobile stage upon which performances are streamed to the masses as the wagons pass through village or town. Alternatively, the pageant wagons can set up in a fixed location, in which case the wagons form up into a circle, cutting out sights and sounds of the greater pageant and delineating the circled wagons as a magical-mysterious place called the "Theater".

Shanty of FoolsThe lodgings and performance venue of the pageant's collective of fools, the shanty is a ramshackle structure formed of spare sackcloth, rope, odds and ends and fallen logs. While distinctly unimpressive as seen from without, once inside the Shanty visitors and pageant-folk who are not fools themselves become lost in a maze of clothbound corridors whose dimensions far exceed normal expectations. But the Shanty is not a maze, so much as a labyrinth which leads ever deeper towards a central chamber called the "Tabernacle". All along the corridors of the shanty-labyrinth are recesses in which scenes are played out for the paying visitors and for those who trespass within the private sanctum of the fools. These scenes are supposed to serve as a series of morality plays meant to remind the visitor-folk of their ethical and spiritual obligations and what might await them after death should they they fail to keep faith. But, all-too-often, these performances do the opposite, revealing the holes in medieval life and presenting the visitor with a distinct emotional or moral dilemma which they must solve if they wish to escape the Shanty by reaching the central "Tabernacle of Fools". All too often, however, visitors who enter are never seen again and it is assumed by those within their communities that they simply ran away with the pageant. Tabernacle of FoolsFools
