Ave Calontirii,

Some brief announcements that may not yet have come to your ears. Please feel free to forward far and wide.

Our Crown Tournament will be held on October 9th in the Barony of Mag Mor.

Unfortunately, this will conflict with this year’s Fall Gulf Wars XXX, so We will not be calling a muster for the war.

With that being said, We are accepting Letters of Intent to fight in Our Crown Tournament at this time.

If you wish to compete, please submit your letter to Us and the Kingdom Seneschal no later than September 25th. This due date is the same weekend as Masters of the Duel.

In accordance with Section VI of Kingdom Law:

• Any resident combatant and consort may submit a Letter of Intent.
• The letter must include proof of residence within Calontir and active paid membership with the SCA

We would also ask you for a few sentences on why you wish to be the Crown Prince and Princess of Calontir.

Bona Fortuna
Lucian and Tamar

Calontir,

We know that the current rules for events and gatherings are changing frequently, so wanted to provide some clarity with where our current Kingdom rules differ from the BoD minimum requirements.

This list will also be uploaded [to the Calontir Facebook, and (PDF attached) if you would like to have a copy available at events or meetings for any reason.

If you have questions feel free to ask—Our email is always open, but please apply these in the spirit of safety in which they are intended, refrain from Rules lawyering, and DON’T BE THE REASON WE HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER RULE.

Current Rules for Calontir Event Attendance (as of 8/5/21)

• These rules apply to both events and local meetings, practices, and gatherings.
• These rules are in addition to, not in place of, the Society level rules from the BoD.
• These rules are the MINIMUM requirements, and local group leadership may enact more stringent requirements if the local health conditions warrant.
• All Local, State, and Federal Guidelines are to be followed, including masking and gathering size limits.
• All attendees to any event, meeting, or practice, must be signed in on a roster including current accurate contact information.

• Everyone must mask indoors, regardless of vaccination status.
• Masks must be worn covering the nose and mouth.
• You may bring your own food to an event and you may share it with others.

  • Vaccinated members of the populace may be closer than 6 feet outdoors, but must still distance to eat or drink indoors.
  • Unvaccinated members of the populace must distance at least 6 feet to eat or drink both indoors and out.

Unto the People of Calontir,

Yesterday the Society announced the repeal of some of the restrictions on our SCA experience, beginning August 1. Those new directives can be found here:

Resolution to Further Lift Suspension of In-Person Activity in the SCA as of August 1, 2021

Know that We hear your concerns and continue to monitor the rising Covid numbers within our borders.

We will continue to help strictly enforce all Local, State, and Federal Guidelines at both events and local practices and meetings, and expect Our local group leadership to do so as well. We strongly encourage vaccination for all who can do so. Please help protect those of us who have legitimate medical restrictions and cannot get vaccinated themselves. We ask that everyone take the responsibility of their health, and the health of our community very seriously.

Please respect personal boundaries, wear masks when rules or personal comfort dictate. (As of now our masking rules are not changing: Those who have been fully vaccinated may be unmasked if they wish while outdoors.) Remember that we must still follow all official masking guidelines for the location of an event, and be cognizant of the fact that if you are traveling from an area of higher risk to attend an event, you may still wish to mask up for the safety of others.

Please do not attend events if you do not feel well.

While the most recent science indicates that the unvaccinated are still at the greatest risk of extreme symptoms, this does not mean the vaccine is a perfect defense. This new Delta variant is much more contagious, and the vaccinated can still contract and spread it to others.

The pandemic is not yet ended but we can, for now, continue to enjoy each other’s company and the SCA responsibly.

We may not be masked 100% of the time, but if you approach either of Us in conversation or in court while wearing a mask, We will do so as well to ensure the comfort of Our populace.
The SCA is an organization of chivalry and community. Please remember these values and help set a good example for the rest of the Known World.

TRM Lucian and Tamar
