Daniel Martel invited into the Order of the Pelican

Mistress Lynette Dave’jean reports:

Greetings All,

For those of you that were unable to attend Gulf Wars this year, there was an exciting
invitation issued by Their Royal Majesties Martino and Ariel. They have invited Daniel Martel
into their Order of the Pelican. It was my pleasure to beg the boon in Court on Thursday evening.

At this time there are no details to share with you.

CALONTIR acceptances

* Cesare di Lodovico Malefici. Name.
Submitted as Cesare de Lodovico Malefici, a timely correction was made by the submitter, allowing the College to consider the correct name.
The submitter requested authenticity for 15th century Florentine. The source used to document the elements did not precisely date them. It is considered likely, however, that this name meets that request.
* Drust Loc. Badge. (Fieldless) On a tortoise azure a triquetra argent.
* Emme Ziegler. Name change from Am{i-}ra bint Timurhan and device change. Argent, a swallow displayed guardant azure, on a chief sable three mullets of seven points argent.
Appearing on the Letter of Intent as Emma Ziegler, a timely correction corrected the spelling of the given name.
The submitter’s previous name, Am{i-}ra bint Timurhan, is retained as an alternate name.
Her previous device, Per bend sinister wavy argent and azure, a bird volant to sinister chief and another volant to dexter base counterchanged, is released.
There is a step from period practice for the use of a non-eagle displayed.
* Freygeirr Finnsson. Name and device. Per saltire sable and purpure, in annulo four ravens striking in annulo argent.
Submitted as Freygeirr Finnrson, the submitter specifically allowed the correction to the spelling of the patronym to Finnsson.
There is a step from period practice for the use of charges in annulo not in their default palewise orientation.
* Gregorii Vladimir Borondinskii. Name.
* Lonely Tower, Barony of the. Order name Order of the Keystone of the Lonely Tower.
Submitted as Order of the Keystone of the Barony of the Lonely Tower, commenters could not find evidence of this use of phrases like Barony of X in period order names. Thus, we have dropped that section of the name with the permission of the submitters in order to register the name.
This order name was pended from the August 2013 Letter of Acceptances and Returns.
* Vincent de Vere. Name and device. Gules, on a fess azure fimbriated three mullets Or.

CALONTIR returns

* Gabriel andvaka Kjotvason. Badge for alternate name Andrea Auditore da Venezia. Sable, a bend sinister cotised between two roses argent.
This badge is returned for conflict with the device of Bruno de Brest, Sable, a bend sinister cotissed between a bear paw fesswise contourny and a bear paw fesswise argent. There is a DC for the change in type of secondary charges, but nothing else.

Tuesday Update from Gulf Wars

From HE Duncan Bruce of Logan:

Tuesday was cloudy and wet for opening ceremonies and the first day of battles.Calontir comported ourselves well both on and off the field. The town battle was rainy and slick in the gates, but there was a lot of good fighting and we prevailed both storming and defending the town.
Rain put quite a damper on the evenings activities, but it stopped around 9, and folks caroused at the Purple Pavilion, as we are wont to do.

Letters of Intent for Coronation requested

From the Kingdom of Calontir webpage:

Crown Tournament will soon be upon us. It is of utmost importance that We find worthy heirs to secure the future of the Kingdom.
