Rennies Realm:What or Who are Rennies?
Rennies or renaissance people are those who dress up for any faire ocassion (Renaissance, Medieval, Celtic faires) to dress up in their Renaissance era garb. Many of them like my self probably know at least a couple of the songs that are normally sung at the sing alongs. They may also have a particular accent, which can be learned simply by using the following websites. Some rennies even go further than that. They may look up different common names for that period and create their own character. Many of those whom are capable to do this successfully become "PERFORMERS"...

How to become a Rennie:
First: Go to a renaissance faire and see what the people I can rennies are wearing. That way you know what kind of costume you would like to purchase or sew your self.
Second: Create or buy your costume. I am one of these people who like to save money. The simplist way to do that is get your self a costume pattern, some cloth and create your own costume. If you don't have the money be prepared to be spending a little more money. Costumes average between $100 to $300 dollars. You can find all the costumes and everything to become a rennie by going to my Merchants page.
Third: Learn how to talk like a rennie. Or you can scroll down/ go to my blog to learn some of the funny, but entertaining song lyrics.
Your very close but you can get even deeper.
Fourth: Create your own character....
You can go to the following links, find a rightful name for your character. Whether it be faire maiden, knight, peasant, pirate, or wrench. Or you can go to our character page to find out more on Character development.
If you want to learn more about the people of the past you can search through www.goggle.com to find any information you can possibly find on the lives of pirates, maidens, knights, and others who lived during that time. Or you can look through my blog; which will occassionally have articles added into it about the people from the past.
