The Valhalla Proposal

jamesqThe popular description of Valhalla (the afterlife for worthy Norse warriors) is a place where the you fight all day, party all night, and there are no consequences - it's all for fun. Does this sound familiar? I think we should stop calling them SCA wars and start calling them Valhallas. Estrella Valhalla, Gulf Valhallas, An Tir - West Valhalla.
An SCA event would look quite a bit like heaven to an actual medieval Norse. Think of it - plenty of fighting, free booze, varieties of food and treasure beyond imagining, lots of opportunity to boast. The only thing that would really get in the way would be be the existence of marshals and modern notions of equality.
Perhaps all of us SCAdians are in Valhalla now and just don't realize it. Ragnarok could be coming.
