Greetings Good Gentles,Depends, though, on how new people are brought in and how they're introduced to travelling. Did you join in a principality or a kingdom? If, for example, you joined in the Kingdom of Atlantia, you were shown kingdom culture. If you were to join in a principality, you might be shown principality culture. It depends on what folks around you tell you to some extent, and thus what you feel a connection to. I'm not saying you'd be a sheep and be ruled totally by others- you'd probably travel to events your friends went to. It's just a human nature thing. Of course, there will always be those who will/will not travel regardless.Concerning a Northern principality Jessamyn di Piemonte writes: <snip> But
those who join in a principality will have even LESS incentive to travel to
events other than Crown, Coronation, etc.. <snip>Good Lady, I disagree. Personally, I joined the SCA, not a Kingdom, YMMV.

I mean sure, I joined the SCA too- but do I go to East Kingdom events? Naw.....or Aethelmarc? Nope. I don't get the newsletters, it's easier to just go to Atlantian stuff.... Of course, I have been thinking lately I need to make time to get to more events in the southern end of the kingdom. I just don't have a convenient camping tent, and so many of their events are now camping events....and that's a factor that has an effect on travel too....
It's an aculturation and convenience thing.....
