Once again, just for Sparkles, who has requested gradual, eventual revelation of the meanings behind various titles. :)
Handmaiden of Doom and Seeker of Schlepers go together, really. When the Mistress of Doom became the Queen of Northshield (and hence, the Queen of Doom) in the SCA, she naturally needed handmaidens to help her out in the hectic-ness that is being royalty. And who would pass up the opportunity to be called a Handmaiden of Doom?! I don't actually know how Anne became the Mistress of Doom in the first place, except that Sven had something to do with it. Maybe that would be a good blog post for her. Hint, hint? Anyway, I told her that I had no intention of schleping things around (I think I forgot about that, because I've done that anyway) (schlep meaning drag/cart/carry/lug) but that I would be in charge of seeking out people to do it for her. Hence, Seeker of Schlepers.
Stay tuned for our next episode in "Explanation of Titles."

i believe that it comes from back in the day when she was exchquer. then, she was known as the exchequer of doom, corrupter of the poles, and temptress of the wicked ways. she next step in the title was when she gave up being exchequer, and became the ex-exchequer of doom (etc...). that's as far back as i can trace it, bu ti'm sure there's more to that story.
Oh yes, now I remember. I can never keep track of her numerous titles.
I was first named exchequer of doom and then it became ex-exchequer of doom. Somewhere in there it got the rest of the titles. A couple of years later it got shortened to the mistress of doom about the same time Hagan and i became arch nemesis.
We of course have put aside our struggle for supremacy to rule Northshield.
