The countdown to Symposium 2020 continues, and this week we continue our Admiral Profiles with the new leader of the Kentucky Fleet . . . Admiral Asherah!
Admiral Asherah of the Kentucky Fleet
Salubrious salutations from Caduceus Airship Captain Medea Asherah (aka Jennifer Noran), She Who Walks Above the Sea! Are you prepared to accompany me on daring exploits and adventures this coming year, my afternoonified adventurers?
Having been raised in the ranks to Admiral Asherah of the Kentucky fleet this year, I want to rally our ships to batty-fang our adversaries at next year’s International Steampunk Symposium 2020.
After being introduced to Steampunk in 2015 by my Co-Captain who suggested we attend the International Steampunk Symposium, and having seen all the fun and adventures to be had, I decided to create my own airship, The Caduceus. My crew has grown over the last few years and we hold monthly meetings where we learn, create, plot future adventures and revel in our friendships. This year we hosted our first event, The Victorian Valentine Affair, which was a fundraiser inspired by the good deeds of the Airship Ashanti.
As a Graphic Artist, I have been active in the Steampunk community designing logos for such projects as the Kentucky Steampunk Society, The Chicago Steampunk Exposition, The Traveling Revelers and my own graphics and projects for the Caduceus. The different themes that the ISS creates annually have inspired many a craft day and costuming project for my crew and me.
Check out the The Airship Caduceus, and The Kentucky Steampunk Society for more information. On these pages you will find how to prepare yourself for the games and events by looking in the files section on the Caduceus’ Facebook page and at past missives on the other pages.
So, gather your wits about you my bricky beau sabreurs and prepare for some nanty narking and mafficking! After three years of placing below first, I plan to have our fleet take the egg in 2020! I will also be making awards to present within in the fleet, so let’s work as a team AND make a jolly sport of it at the same time!!!
Yours in the spirit of adventure,
Admiral Medea Asherah, She Who Walks Above the Sea
