On September 4, 2023, at a Special Meeting of the SCA Inc. Board of Directors, the Board voted without opposition to remove Aaron MacGregor as the current Crown Prince of Ansteorra. The Board reached this serious decision after significant deliberation and with the advice of our Officers.
At this time, Ansteorra remains under the stewardship of the Stellar Crown, King Gabriel and Queen Sonja. We would ask that people extend all courtesy to Her Royal Highness Nicollet as she contemplates what will be best for the Kingdom in the next reign. Any further announcements regarding the next reign will be made at a Kingdom level.
As this matter is ongoing, no further public comment will be made by SCA Inc.

Good Morning Calontir,
We have updated CALON to reflect recent changes to the structure of armored combat authorizations. Fighters who were previously authorized in two-handed sword or polearm should have those authorizations replaced by an authorization in two-handed weapon. Two-weapon authorizations have been removed.
Authorized fighters should login and print a new authorization card – especially if you are attending Pennsic.
