In this land of hearts we call Calontir, we grieve together when one of us passes from this life, even if we have not seen them in many years. His Excellency Baron Davro son of Davril son of Davin, third Baron of Forgotten Sea, passed away on September 11, AX LIX. Baron Davro was an early member of Forgotten Sea who joined the SCA while the future barony was still a shire. Those who read the Chronicles of Calontir will notice Davro’s name mentioned repeatedly in the tales of our history. His service to the burgeioning Calontir brought him renown. He was awarded arms by the Crown of the Middle Kingdom on September 3, A.S. XIII.
His prowess on the field in those early years came to the notice of Warlord Brummbar II, who recognized him as a Companion to the Order of the Iren-Fyrd in July A.S. XV. He was the nineteenth Fyrdman of that Order. Davro’s service to Forgotten Sea and to Calontir earned him Companionship within the Order of the Torse on October 27, A.S. XIX by King Shadan and Queen Erzebet.
When Baron Morgan of York departed Forgotten Sea, Davro was selected by the Midrealm Crown to serve as the third Baron of Forgotten Sea. Alongside Baroness Elwynn of Fountain Grove,, Davro was steward of the lands as Calontir transitioned from Principality to Kingdom.
Baron Davro was a friendly and welcoming presence as Baron. He will always be remembered for helping newcomers to Forgotten Sea get started on their paths in the SCA. Under his and Elwynn’s stewardship, Forgotten Sea grew through the Barony’s recruitment efforts at the Kansas City Rennaisance Festival. Many who would leave their own marks on Forgotten Sea and Calontir came into our Society during that time. His friends remember his warm smile and sharp wit. Davro and Elwynn resigned from the Baronage on May 21, A.S. XXIII and were honored as Baron and Baroness of the Court by King Thorvald and Queen Branwyn.
Family and commitments outside of the SCA would soon pull Davro away, and he was little seen in Calontir thereafter. However, his legacy continues to this day and Calontir shall always honor his memory.
Baron Davro is survived by his daughters Aeriel and Vanessa. Baroness Elwyn, his former baroness and lifelong friend predeceased him in A.S. LIII. Let the Calontir chorus raise its voice to honor the passing of Baron Davro, and may Calontir always remember with honor and gratitude the contributions he made to our community.
