It is time for me to retire from The Falcon Banner.
Mistress Sofya la Rus will be maintaining the site, and Mistress Dorcas Whitecap will continue the court reports.
I would like to see someone continue the In Memoriam articles, reposting kingdom news from Facebook, and miscellaneous items from SCA Announcements. These can certainly be different people. If you are interested in taking on one or more of these roles, please message or email me to discuss.

Good Evening Calontir,
When the COVIDSafe policy was initially announced nearly a year ago, we did not immediately adopt it. We examined the available data, determined the need based on that data, and created a criteria for adoption, review, and suspension that was data driven. This approach was designed to prevent major decisions of this kind from being made based on fear or misguided political rhetoric. This approach has served us well.
As many of you have likely noticed, there was an announcement today from the SCA Board of Directors, the text of which can be found here…
Board Resolution – Amendment to COVIDSafe Policy effective 1 December 2022
…They have made the decision to suspend the COVIDSafe policy across the SCA effective December 1, 2022, and to reserve unto themselves any future decisions regarding COVID related policy. After consulting with Their Majesties, and Their Highnesses, the decision has been made to continue the COVIDSafe policy, and current COVID Guidelines for Event Attendance, through Toys for Tots on November 19th, 2022. That event will be the last event for both in the Kingdom of Calontir. This will keep us in compliance with the directive received from the Board of Directors while extending the protections offered by the current policy for as long as is practical.
If you have any questions, please email me at Seneschal@calontir.org. If you have feedback for the Board of Directors regarding their decision, please email them at sca-comments@sca.org. Decisions made for all are never easy. Please remember to keep all feedback respectful.
Together we will continue to do the best we can for the kingdom that we love. We are Calontir. We will endure.

It is my great pleasure to announce that the new Emergency Deputy Seneschal for the Kingdom of Calontir will be Countess Giulia Isabella da Venezia. I look forward to working with her in the coming months to prepare her to take over as the next Kingdom Seneschal when the time comes.
I would also like to thank His Lordship Saito Takauji for serving in that role as I continued to seek a successor. I wish him well in his upcoming role as the next Baron of Mag Mor.
In Service,
Galen
The Kingdom Advocates work as a team to address concerns, help bring about resolutions to disputes, and investigate reports of inappropriate behavior.
Our current Kingdom Advocates are Duke Tristram of Lindisfarne, Countess Conna ingen Ui Chearbhaill, and Mistress Halimah bint ‘al Abbas ‘al Tanji. They have done a fantastic job under uniquely trying circumstances. Due to a combination of plague and corporate restructuring, they have been in their roles for a greater than expected period of time, and would like to retire to their estates to enjoy a well deserved rest. We announced the newest member of the team, Lady Eawynn ingen Broccain, in court last night. We will need others as well.
If you are interested in serving Calontir in this capacity, please submit your letter of intent to Seneschal@calontir.org, and copy the advocates at Advocates@Calontir.org. Letters of intent are due by August 20th, 2022.
If you have any questions about the office please let us know. Thank you.
In Service,
Galen
The current Emergency Deputy Seneschal for Calontir, His Lordship Saito Takauji, will be stepping up as the next Baron of Mag Mor at the end of August. This means that I am in need of a new Emergency Deputy Seneschal.
My warrant is also up in November, which means that I am seeking a successor for my office.
If you are interested in serving the kingdom either as Emergency Deputy Seneschal, or the next Kingdom Seneschal, please submit your letters of intent to Seneschal@calontir.org by August 17th, 2022. If you have any questions about the office, please let me know. Thank you.
In Service,
Galen
